The second weekend in October, Ben and I flew to Las Vegas to relax at Gary and Sandie's amazing vacation home - Pirate's Cove - on Lake Mead. The property is unreal and the weather was perfect - 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. This was our last hooorah or Babymoon before Baby Post hits our little family. We savored the time together - just us. I have been mourning this loss a little. We have been so blessed to have 9 years together, getting into many a mis-adventure. I know that our baby will only enhance our lives together and we are looking forward to this new adventure in our lives. I will always look back on our childless married days with a grateful and happy heart. My cup runneth over.
Today, I had my 36 week check up. I go to the OB once a week from here on out. I'm faring really well. Baby's head is down and has dropped quite a bit in the last few days. She mentioned it and I told her that I have definately noticed the change! I'm using the ladies room constantly and the ligaments connecting my lower abdomen to my legs are really feeling the stretch! Baby is at -1 and my cervix is thinning, which is all great news. The OB said that it's a good indication that I may have a short labor. I'm focusing on all the positive energy she is giving me! I told Ben on Saturday that my intuition is that I will go early. I don't care either way. I still have things to do so I wouldn't mind waiting the full 4 weeks either. We have hired our Doula, Miss Miranda. She is a wonderful lady and will help Ben and I labor at home as long as possible. Then she'll join us in the hospital to support us through the rest. Ben took these pics a few days ago. I feel like I couldn't possibly get any bigger!! We are so excited to meet our baby AND to find out the sex. Can't wait!
