T-minus 10

Well, here we are--10 days away from our due date! I don't think we expected to still be waiting right now, but since I've been feeling pretty good yesterday and today, I don't mind as much. This week has been back to "normal", with a doctor's appointment Monday morning and all my regular lessons going as planned. According to the doctor on Monday, I'm still 4 cm dilated, but also 70% effaced, so it's nice to know that my body has already started the early labor process without any pain involved! Perhaps it will lead to a faster labor....

This morning, the temp reached 50 outside, so I went for a nice walk around the neighborhood. It was terribly cloudy then, but the sun is out right now with beautiful, clear blue skies!! I am SO ready for Spring :o) I think the addition of the baby will make Spring more beautiful this year. This afternoon, I'm simply doing laundry, which is more of a task now with a huge belly out in front. The ladies at Don's school seem to think that carrying baskets of wash up and down the stairs will make me go into labor, though, so we'll see if anything happens....HA! Before we went to bed last night, we snapped a few more pictures, including some with Don in them, too. Enjoy!
