Trying to go into LABOR!!

I went to the Doctor today and I am still progressing, I am dilated to a 4 and 80% effaced. She stripped my membranes and told me that I needed to go to the hospital for a stress test tomorrow. The babies heartbeat was staying at 118 and they like it to be in the 120 to 140 range. She also wants to induce me by Tuesday if the baby doesn't come before then. Unless of course when I do the stress test and something is wrong then they will induce me tomorrow.

Well...........I decided to help the process a little more to see if I can possibly start on my own....hence the pictures below......




YES!!!!! I can still do a back flip!!!!! Wahoooo!




I was looking at the pictures afterward and said to Jason "I don't remember bouncing on my knees?" He just looked at me until I figured out that I wasn't bouncing on my knees. It was just my big fat body sinking all the way into the tramp so far that it LOOKED like I was jumping on my knees!! Oh that made me feel soooo good!! Good enough to go eat TWO Klondike bars!!!!

Baby Shower and My Update!

Yesterday my neighbor threw me a baby shower it was so cute to see all the little girl things. I have been in denial all this time but the shower helped me to snap a little into reality and get excited about my baby girl coming! I have just been so overwhelmed with everything going on around me I hadn't had time to get excited. I already put away the cute clothes and dresses that were given to me...and I am WAY too lazy to pull them out again and take a picture. Just imagine cute little girl clothes and you've got it. After the shower my mom (who came up for it...bless her heart) took me out to get something special for the baby. We looked and looked and came across this baby swing, my mom was saying "This is it!" "This is it!" It is like the total Cadillac of swings, I'm pretty sure that it will cook you breakfast in the mornings if you ask it to. It vibrates, swaddles, mimics womb sounds, has a MP3 player hook up so you can download music and play it through the speakers. It also can come off and be used as a ground rocker.You can put any Graco car seat onto the frame (just in case you didn't want to take your baby out of the car seat when you get home)and it swings it just like a swing.

Anyway here is a picture of it.

.....and no that is not my baby! She is still cooking!



On another note..... I went to the doctor on Friday and I was 80% Effaced and Dilated to a 3...so it could be another week or anytime. Here is a picture of me after church posing by a tree in front of our house...looking all happy!


Here is a Candid picture of how I really feel!
