Countdown

(week 39)

Cruising right along! We are all prepped now and things seems to be progressing right on time.

Baby is bouncing around like a little gymnast and has become my main source of evening entertainment. There just aren't many opportunities in life to look down and watch your belly roll and bulge with the motion of an on-board alien. Pretty intense.

I was surprised to get the report from my doctor this morning that I'm dilated 1cm. It's not much and doesn't really mean anything exciting at this point, but I didn't expect I'd dilate at all before labor. It's reassuring to learn that all the wild Braxton Hicks I've been feeling are actually somewhat productive.

I'll take pictures again this week... still don't feel like I look any different, but Blaine can't look at me without his eyes bulging wide and getting a goofy grin on his face, so perhaps the belly is worth sharing again :)
