My OB appointment on Friday went well. Nothing has changed in the last week. I'm still 2cm dilated, and the baby is low (which is good, although very uncomfortable!!!). I had 4 hours of false labor on Friday night. Contractions started when we were out to eat with Matt's parents around 7, & came every 8-9 minutes until about 11. At that point, I decided to get in the tub to try to determine if it was the real deal (they say if contractions continue with a warm bath or shower, it's real, and if they go away, it's just practice). Needless to say, they went away, and I was bummed. Oh well. She'll come when she's good and ready!
On a separate note, we got our first harvest from the garden. We went out & looked at the zucchini on Friday, and they were still pretty small. By Saturday afternoon, they were HUGE & ready for picking. I can't wait to eat them with dinner tonight!
I didn't get around to posting last week, so here are pictures of the big belly from last weekend. This one was taken on Saturday before Eli & Emily's baby shower:
Here are Emily (29 weeks pregnant) & I (37 weeks pregnant) with our dueling bellies. Sorry Em, I think I have you beat on this one. :)
On Monday, Matt & I took Bailey out to Silver Springs. We had a nice picnic lunch, & then did some walking around (which I quickly realized I did NOT feel good enough to do in the 90 degree heat). It was nice for the first few minutes though!
Here is the belly today at 38 weeks, 3 days:
I have no idea why some of these pictures are normal size, and some of them are huge. I also don't have the motivation to figure it out. :)
You are so absolutely adorable. I think the one of your hands making a heart over your belly should be framed.
