Barefoot & Pregnant

Wow, is it HOT in here or is it just me? Hmmm, Ryan claims that it is just me but I really think it's time to turn on the air conditioning! My feet are HOT HOT HOT, my armpits are HOT HOT HOT...the house is HOT, ugh! But it is really nice outside...so that helps!

So, I completely understand the whole "Barefoot & Pregnant" stereotype now! Bring on the flip flops!

We went to the doc today & she asked if I've had any contractions or any signs of labor & so far I haven't had anything. She wasn't going to do a vaginal check but when I said that it felt like the baby had dropped down she said maybe we'd better just take a quick look! She says that his head had definitely moved down into the pelvis now & the cervix is starting to soften but it doesn't look like I have started to dilate yet. We made an appointment for a checkup next Monday & she says that she is pretty sure that I won't be having a baby before then; most first time Moms take more than a week for the cervix to really get soft & ready for dilation...but sometimes things do move quicker.

This is really getting exciting now...in a couple more weeks we could be holding this precious little child & looking into his eyes for the first time! I can't believe it...now if I can just get used to the waiting that lies ahead! THAT will be the hard part...waiting, waiting, waiting!
