oh big belly! (39 weeks)

well kids, first of all, thanks for reading this. second of all, can you believe it's the end of October?! due date is drawing near. :-) here we are at 39 weeks - I had to take the picture on a timer and, as you can see, i didn't get it quite right the first time. and the second time the angle is still not super flattering, but you can still see! the Belly is BIG.



















there we go!



















and i even am giving you a sneak peek of the nursery. but, really, i want to wait for the reveal when it's actually finished. :-) like i said before.

so baby update: no girly yet! but we are excited and ready, to say the least. i have had more contractions as of late - just nothing consistent (i.e. that would require a call to the doctor's office and a ride to the hospital). so it looks like we're at least going to make it to Sweetie Pea's due date: October 30! Never thought that would happen. :-) but we are SO thankful she is doing well and will be nice and big when she decides to join us in the outside world.

and, if she decides that she doesn't really want to ever come out, we've discussed with Dr. M that November 5 (a week after) is our best induction date. SO! sometime between now and November 5 we'll have a birthday or November 5 will be it! if it does come to induction (which I'm still praying that it doesn't - not the end of the world, I know, just want her to come naturally) - i don't know if I'll be able to sleep the night before, thinking about it knowing that it really is going to happen! huh.

so those are the thoughts - and our plans - and it truly is coming down to the end. only one more potential belly shot even possible! :-)

oh, and did i mention that i love fall? LOVE it. she is picking a good time to be born. pretty pretty pretty.

P.S. Sweetie Pea - your Halloween onesie is waiting for you to be born! you want to wear it, really you do... :-)
