I'm about to post some oh so flattering pics of myself. Please keep in mind that I am 800 years pregnant and overdue! Ha! After meeting with Julie yesterday, she graciously let me borrow her birthing ball to sit on and roll around on to get baby boy in position. M thought this was pretty cool, so she got out her beach ball and did the same. It was funny and happened more than once today.
Tonight I've been taking it easy and having some contractions. Nothing new mind you except that I haven't really had any contractions to speak of lately, so at least they are back. I intend on going with that and trying to coax them into actual real labor.
That would be primo wouldn't it seeing as my mom just went back out of town today. That would be pretty right on for the way things happen in my family! Who knows. I certainly am not getting my hopes up. Still, I made another of my fave chocolate cakes today. I asked the doula if eating my fave chocolate cake would make my body release oxytocin (if you don't know about this hormone, you'll need to look it up so I don't have to explain it and possibly get some weird lurkers...). She said chocolate cake=oxytocin! So sweet! haha...
Great day. M and her dad played in the "pool" on the porch and managed to make it into a pseudo bathtime. It was fun to watch and take pics. We shall see what tonight holds...

Those pics of J and M are hilarious. Looks like they had a great time! I know B and T$ have gotten so much closer these last few weeks and I'm thankful since she's always been such a mama's girl. I'm sure J and M will be spending a lot of time together once Baby Boy arrives, too.
Luv the bubblebath swim pic...how FUN! Your dad called about an hour ago and told us you were in labor and went to the birthing center. We are praying for all.
Also, luv the Scattergories post...will publish on my blog next week.
love U, auntkathylove
