Since She's Not Here Yet

We're trying really hard to be patient since the due date is tomorrow and I haven't felt a single contraction. I've been walking to try to get something going, but no luck so far. Here's a look at my gigantic 39 week belly-I'm waddling a bit more every day.

Our ultrasound about a week and a half ago revealed that despite measuring small from the outside, baby's actually kind of huge. They estimated that she weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz.! And they did confirm that we're having a girl, so that's one less thing to be anxious about.
I've been keeping busy by cleaning and doing craft projects, and we've got everything ready to carve pumpkins tonight.

We've been pushing this back for a few days now, so we'll see if it really happens. It's a funny feeling to not know if you'll be able to do something tomorrow because you might be having a baby.

I saw Sis. Christensen last night and she said that you didn't look big enough to have a baby this week. Was she mistaken?

Look at you! Oh, I can't wait to see little Sydney! Just remember that she'll come when she's ready. I know it's hard to be patient. You best be calling or texting me after that baby comes!

Good luck! And, you never know....we had an ultra sound done 2 days before Abigail arrived....they estimated 7.5, but she was a mere 6 pounds 10 ounces. All of our best wishes for whenever Sydney comes!!

you know if it was a boy, he'd just have to learn to like pink.

everyday i hope that it is my last day at work, but Im like you. I don't know that i've felt any real contractions and my doctor said I was dilation a little more that a zero yesterday... im hoping for better news next monday. the resource teacher at my school is due the day before me and gets to be induced on saturday. good for her, but that didn't really help me feel any better. hope you pop soon!

oh, and my ultrasound when I was 3 days overdue showed Clara being a whopping 11 POUNDS but she was only 8.
