I can't believe we're this far along....where did the time go? I looked at my blog the other day and saw the floating baby and it said 1 week 5 days left! I had a slight panic attack when I saw that :) We're physically ready for her to be here....it's just the mental thing that we're working on. I know both of us are full of fears....what if we do something wrong....what if we drop her...all those "what if's" that every new parent goes through. But then the sensible side of my brain kicks in...and I know in my heart that we're going to be ok...and that yes, we will probably make some mistakes, but that's a part of learning. And good thing she won't be able to remember any of our blunders :)
Last night I started experiencing Braxton Hicks for the first time. Wow....who knew your belly could get so hard! I'm having a few of them today....but I only notice it when I'm sitting down. Next week's dr. appt will hopefully tell us that I'm dilating and effacing :) This week we learned that she's starting to drop down...so that's a good thing!!
Here's a much requested picture of my belly at this stage. I don't think I have enough nerve to take a naked belly picture at this point....but we'll see. How much airbrushing can I do? :) Enjoy!
