Waiting

So do I look any bigger in this picture? Well I have certainly grown some inches over these last weeks. I can't believe that she is not here yet. This is my longest pregnancy so far. Dave and I already been to the hospital twice because I was having hard contractions that were about three minutes apart. But because I don't show any progression in dilation they can only send me home with pain medicine. So far I'm dilated to a three (and effaced at 80%) but seem to be stuck there for some reason. I guess she is not ready yet.... or maybe she is just waiting for her sisters to get here.. I don't know. Good thing is, she has dropped a bit, so hopefully that will speed things along. It's just a little more uncomfortable for me. The further along I get the more fear I have in getting a C-section. Hopefully it won't come down to that and she arrives healthy as can be. We both just can't wait til she is here and we can finally hold her in our arms.

Nearing the end

81/2 months and nearing to the end. I feel ready... but I know this baby still needs more time. It's always so hard in the last weeks of pregnancy. This baby has been so much to handle with the severe back pain I have been having. Never has my back been this bad. Luckily I was relieved a bit with a chiropractic adjustment and a massage. But of course it's only temporary before I get it back. Hopefully since I do tend to go early it will just be a few weeks before her arrival.

Oh... and the credit goes to my wonderful David for taking this picture... good job honey.
