Waiting Game

I'm now three days past my due date. We're still waiting for our little one to come join us. Apparently, she is comfortable inside. :) I know the due date is supposed to be an average of when babies come, but it's annoying to go past it! I've started having a few more little contractions, but not much that hurts or is anywhere near regular. We got everything ready a couple of weeks ago, and Bri started school last week. We were really hoping she would come before Bri started school or during the three-day weekend, but no luck. It appears she's trying to come at the most inconvenient time possible! We have an appointment tomorrow with our midwives. If she hasn't come at that point, they'll do a couple of tests to make sure she's still doing well. If they don't see any problems, we'll schedule an induction for the second half of next week (Sep. 14-16). We'd really rather her come this week, since my grandparents are coming into town at the beginning of next week, but she appears to be stubborn.

The one benefit of our little girl being slow at joining us is that the weather has finally cooled down in Utah. We don't have air conditioning in our little apartment, so we have relied on fans to keep our apartment cool. It hasn't worked all that well. Our baby monitor has a temperature reading on it. When we first set it up about 3 weeks ago, it read 84* in our baby's room. It varied between 81 and 84 for the next few weeks, until this weekend when it finally cooled. Now it reads between 77 and 80 most of the time. Those few degrees really make a difference! It feels much better in the room now.

With Bri going back to school and work, I haven't had much to do. I made some dinners that I put in the freezer. I finished a sewing project. I've watched a lot of netflix and played some Wii. This weekend, we spent the weekend with my parents, watching football, eating dinner, and going to a BYU soccer game. Bri caught a size one BYU soccer ball thrown into the stands. My mom says it's a sign that the baby will like soccer. :)

Here's a picture of the car seat cover I made.

Here's a picture of me, now officially 40 weeks/9 months pregnant. The dress really doesn't fit anymore, but we had to take a picture to finish off the set. :)




















Hopefully I'll have cute baby pictures to post soon! We're ready baby!
