She has dropped. Unfortunately with first babies that still means it could be another 3 weeks from now...but it's good to know she's in the right position as of at least last week, if not before. The Dr. is pleased with all my "numbers"--which was so encouraging to hear. And at this moment Greta and I are experiencing one of our frequent Braxton Hicks practice contractions.............ok it's over. It doesn't really hurt, but can be a bit uncomfortable!
Matthew's new thing is to say to baby "I'm coming to Gret yah!!" We're all ready for her. Since I've stopped working I've gotten the chance to fully nest...washed all her clothes, blankets etc and organized her things. It's so incomprehendable that soon we will be holding her and bathing her and changing her and playing with her. What will it be like?? Waiting 9 months for the best present ever takes a lot of patience!! Of course we know it will not always be easy and fun, and that especially the first 6 weeks will be somewhat a blur of tiredness and shock at the adjustments we'll be making. But we know we will have a lot of support from family, friends, and our church and feel very blessed for that.
Sorry no photos this time around. I could scare you all with a picture of me taken in my swimsuit the other day, but I'll spare the world wide web that one. No, I was not going swimming (I've chickened out on doing that--people stare at me enough as it is in regular clothes!!)--but I always wanted a picture of me in my bikini fully pregnant, as I remember looking at one of my mom taken like that when she was getting ready to have me :-)
Let's hope there won't be time for another pre-baby blog entry and that next time we'll have a photo of our little baby to show you all!
