38 weeks prego



Ok.. so I don't love the photo, but it works. Here I am. Ready to have this baby! In fact, we had a bit of a false alarm this weekend. After some back pain starting Friday night, and nasty contractions on Saturday, we packed our bags and put family and friends on alert for Sunday. Sunday rolled around and with absolutely NO sleep and a long difficult night... I still wasn't having CONSISTENT contractions. By late Sunday, I was taking long walks to get this rolling, and the only thing the walks did was give me some fresh air. So, here I am, Monday morning, still no baby, and no more contractions.
I guess I'm glad I didn't end up in the hospital for them to send me home with a nice bill to follow.
Now I'm more anxious than ever! Trenton came 9 days early, so I'm a little on edge.

We were wondering... when we walked into church Trenton didn't yell anything about Jenelle OR Meri. We knew something was up.

We'll be anxiously awaiting word. Good luck all.

I was wondering, but didn't want to call and bug you about it. They say Castor Oil will do the trick...

I don't suppose your late Friday night had anything to do with contractions? I'm SO sorry! Feel better! You're going to do GREAT and we will help in any way you need us!
XO,

p.s. castor oil works sometimes, but makes you REALLY sick.

So I decided that I really suck at this blogging business and need to be good and start commenting on others blogs since everyone is so good at commenting on mine! You are very cute pregnant and I am very excited to meet your new little guy. It is fun that ours will be so close I see play dates in their future!
