I wanted to lead off with this: probably, hopefully the last belly shot you'll get of me. And also definitely the best one yet. This morning, my very talented friend Sunday came over and took some beautiful maternity photographs of me. I'm really not bragging by saying that, I promise. She is a fabulous photographer and she really has a gift for making all her subjects look amazing. If you haven't, please check out her new photo website. You will not be sorry, I promise.
Onto the next photo...I know this picture is not at all recent, but I was moving all my old pictures onto my NEW computer (a birthday present from my wonderful husband) and I found this one. It's was taken last summer when Nick and I went to the beach with my family. It just brings back some really good memories and I decided I wanted it on my blog. Doesn't it make you want to go to the beach?Well, I guess that brings us to the baby update you are probably here for. We are getting very close to Julia's big day! Only 1 more week. We had a really great report at our doctor's appointment today and learned that Julia is actually quite satisfied in her little home in my belly. We had an ultrasound and got to see how BIG she is getting. They estimated that she is about 7 lbs. and 11oz.--Can you believe that? It's pretty scary for me, considering she might be in there another week or two. She also has alot of hair and it looks pretty long. You could see it in the ultrasound! Nick and I loved seeing her again and finding out that she is happy and healthy. Even though we wish she was here with us already, she is in the safest place she can be.
As far as my progress goes, I am almost 2 cm dilated and about 60% effaced, if that stuff means anything to you. I've had the same report for the last few weeks, so I'm starting to think it's pretty arbitrary, too. She is going to come when she is ready, despite all my hoping and walking and red raspberry tea. You just can't rush this girl.
Okay, one more belly shot.
