I found out that Mike's brother's wife is having a BOY and he is due in October! So exciting. It is their third child, along with two little boys! Oh boy I can't imagine the craziness in their house as they get older!! I am excited.. I feel like a aunt to these boys.

I'm 5 days away from my due date.. Seems the baby is going to be late though.. I haven't dilated any at all.. My next doctors appointment is on the 16th.. My due date.. But if I don't go in to labor by the 22nd I am going to be induced..

Excuse the grossness but here is a picture of my belly taken at 37 weeks, and one taken yesterday.



Any other 2010 mommies to be or new moms have any updates on their little ones?

Hang in there, baby will arrive when the time is right! My friends ended up having to be induced with their first child, when they did an ultrasound 6 days after Michelle's initial due date, the ultrasound tech said, "Well, she looks comfy!" to which Michelle said "That's it, time to induce!"

Eviction notice time!

Aw! Hang in there! My first baby came a week before his due date, my second came a week after his.

I just realized I never posted Topher's birth story... oops!
I'll give you a quick rundown of the event. My water broke around 1 pm on May 21 and we called my midwife. She came to check me and said I was already a few cm dilated, but my contractions hadn't started yet, so she left and came back later. It wasn't until around 10 pm (9 hours later) that my contractions finally started, but they were pretty mild. A little after 11 pm they started picking up and around 12:15 I started pushing. He was born at 12:52 am on May 22.

A few pictures from May/early June...
just after he was born; after his second bath; and in the Moby Wrap


And a few more from August/September...
