Soon...

Contractions are getting stronger and stronger. Cervix is thining and dilating. Now all she has to do is drop her damn head!

OB told me to try walking up some stairs, which happens to be the only physical thing I've been avoiding whenever possible. Coincidence? I think not. Also doing some yoga and stretches to loosen my pelvis.

Lance got to hear her heartbeat and see her on the monitor today. The heatbeat he could recognize, but thought that the Dr. and I were in on a female conspiracy as we said things like "There's the arm!" when it just looked like static-y mush to him. Oh well.

While things are sure moving along, the Dr. set a deadline today. If Parker doesn't come by the 25th, then we're inducing. So she's got 2 weeks from today. Goooooooooo Parker!

Yesterday was our 2 year wedding anniversary. Lance has been very good about researching what each anniversary is supposed to be. One year is paper, so he made a paper-mache vase (with a water-tight inside) last year. Year two is cotton, so he got a gorgeous cotton slip/dress/nightie from one of my favorite stores (which happens to be owened/run by my friend Jennifer, who has exquisite taste!) As usual, one or two words into the card and I was balling my eyes out. He just makes me melt.

OK. My body says no more computers- only stretching... My lower back is so sore. I can't even imagine what it's gonna be like once the hard-core contractions set in. Yowza.
