As Peter mentions below, no news of a baby arrival yet, but here is an update. I just realized I've been a bit of a slacker on blog updates unlike the last pregnancy with Roman. Sorry about that, but what can I say, life with Roman while being pregnant again has been all consuming.
My due date is still one week away, but I've been very ready to meet my new baby girl for some time now. Two weeks ago during my weekly OB appointment they told me I was nearly 4 cm dilated...in medical speak, that's just about time for active labor. I had my parents come down to Portland from Seattle a week early just in case baby came early...and I was so sure she would.
Here we are two weeks later and still no baby. She keeps on dropping lower and lower and my belly keeps getting bigger and bigger, though please don't tell me I'm getting huge. Seems every other person I encounter these days keeps reminding me of how large I'm getting (note, pregnant women don't want to hear this). Someone even pointed out to me that I must be having twins... ugh. Yesterday a woman at a coffee shop commented that I'm brave to be having two kiddos so close to each other, but I look fabulous for being this far along, this made my day. Ah well, in the long run it's much better for baby come later than earlier, I know she's gaining strength each day because those kicks and jabs are getting stronger. Though not so fun when Roman kicks my belly from the outside and she kicks her big brother back from the inside. Oh my, is this what I have to look forward to?
Hopefully we'll have some good news soon!
