4 More Days...or More

Saturday is the big day...or so we hope. Actually, tomorrow is a full moon. I don't know if there is any truth in the thought that more babies are born on days when the moon is full...we'll see.


Me at 38 weeks...Whoa!

I really think that Ava is very content to hang out for a little longer. I have had no major Braxton Hix contractions, and, other than swollen feet, I don't feel much different than I did a month ago. Shawn is hoping for a very specific arrival time, Saturday afternoon, mainly so he can have the whole week off next week with the baby. I think we are going to start realizing already that babies tend not to follow our schedule. Someone told me that to avoid the anxious countdown, we should continue to schedule things even past the due date so we have something to look forward to besides the baby. So, I have followed that advice and have scheduled to have company come over on Saturday and Sunday at our house. I don't feel too anxious, and feel as prepared as I'm going to be. We will definitely post pictures of our new baby girl when she decides to come.
