38.5 Weeks pregnant

Holy cow! This picture just amazes me! I can't believe how HUGE my belly gets when pregnant. This picture we taken on Friday night at Downtown Disney. Glenn & I went to the Jazz Kitchen for Glenn's birthday (which isn't until the 9th, but wanted to make sure we made it there). Now for the pregnancy update... you can pretty much guarantee that any update from here on out will have TMI, so continue at your own risk. At my Dr. appointment on Oct. 25th (37 weeks) I was only 1 cm dilated, which I was a little bummed about since with my last 2 pregnancies I had been a 3 by that point. Well, 2 days later I started having some decent contractions (which still haven't stopped). We went to Glenn's 20th High School Reunion that night and I was contracting the whole night. The next day (Sunday) they continued so I talked to my next door neighbor (Lolli) who is a Labor and Delivery nurse at the hospital I will be delivering at. She came over and checked me. I was a tight 3. (side note: Lolli seems to think if I go to 40 weeks this dainty little girl will be at least 10lbs. YIKES!) My next Dr. appointment on Nov. 1st I was a stretchy 3cm so my Dr. stretched me and stripped my membranes. She told me that she would induce me next Wednesday, the 7th, if I wanted her to. I told her no since I have a baby shower that night and I don't want to be induced. I will just have her strip my membranes again at my appointment on the 9th. Maybe she will be born on Glenn's birthday??? Wish me luck!

My back is hurting just thinking of carrying that belly. You're skinny everyone else! You look great! Here's to one more November 9th birthday in our lives. ;o)
