I am ready for her to come any time she is ready (unless she is not ready until after her due date)! I have been feeling extra tired but that probably has something to do with the cold I have. Plus I have had to make lots of extra trips to the potty at night so sleep hasn't been that great.
This last week some good friends of mine threw me a baby shower. It was fun to see so much pink! We had a good time, played some cute games and had yummy foods. I am so grateful for the friends I have made here! One of my friends is in midwifery school right now and wanted to feel my belly. She told me there is lots of room left for her to grow in there! I thought she was packed super tight already but I guess there are some "squishy" spots left. If she does stay in much longer and get bigger I really hope she'll use what space she already has and not expand my belly any more. I'm not sure my skin can handle it. I have been studying that picture from the day before I had Jonas and I would swear I am bigger now than I was with him (and remember, he was 8 lbs, 5 oz!).
Yesterday I had an antenatal appointment. Everything looked and sounded fine. She is now 4/5 engaged. I have contractions every day but nothing to get excited about. I have no idea if I am starting to dilate because they don't check you. I asked the midwife about that and it sounds like they won't ever check me unless I go over my due date. Not my favorite thing in the world (to be checked) but I would really like to know whats going on. I guess now we just wait!

Wow! She looks ready to jump right out sideways. Hope she decides to come soon for you!
Aah! So crazy, she'll come! And be all healthy, I'm excited!!!
Wow, that belly is awesome!!! So much growth since your 36 wk photo!!!! Love it. You always have the cutest belly pictures. Well it might make you feel better that my belly was a lot bigger with Tyler and he ended up being smaller (Nathan was 8 lbs 6 oz and Tyler was 8 even). So maybe you won't have to deliver a larger baby? Fingers crossed! That's so fun about a lot of pink stuff! Bummer that they don't check you, but I understand the reasoning. (even if you were a 4 it doesn't mean they know when you'd have her!), but it was almost fun to look forward to.
I hope you keep blogging often after you have her. I want to hear how it's all going!! I'm so glad you've made some great friends there!! (: Good luck with the delivery. You are strong, you are powerful, you CAN do it!!
