two weekends ago, on July 14th, we had a sweet little welcome shower for you! Your dad and I were so blessed, and blown away by our family and close friends generosity! We got so many cute clothes for you Emma, and it was just so much fun hanging out with everyone. I love seeing my aunts and uncles, my cousins, brothers, and sister, grandma's and grandpas, and good friends. It's always nice to catch up with everyone, and spend some quality time together, especially under such awesome circumstances like celebrating you coming to join the family! Wow, that was a mouth full of a sentence! haha... We had a cake with a little owl on it, and pink, yellow, purple and turquoise everywhere! We played games like measuring my tummy, and people had to guess how big I was! But mostly we just hung out, talked, ate and enjoyed the day! Your auntie Melissa and Megan planned most of the day, and it was so cute. They sent out the invites, made a lot of the food, organized who brought what, and decorated grandmas house! I have one great sister :)
So today, I went to our appointment alone, and left the guys at home so daddy could watch Eli and catch up on his homework. Today they checked me for SIGNS OF LABOR, which I thought there would be none... I have been feeling like you will be right on time or late like Eli was. Although I am physically tired, and emotionally ready to have you, I am alright with waiting on you since we still have much to do! Well, today I gathered surprising news that I wasn't quite expecting to hear.I did get the normal low down which was that everything is measuring great, I am healthy, and you have a strong and healthy heart beat. Then my doctor checked me to see how close I may or may not be to labor. They usually start checking for these things at this time, and when she checked she said that I was already dilated 3 centimeters. She also said that my cervix is soft, and if I were to get contractions, I should go right into labor. Also, that your head is low, and even lower than Elijah's was at this time. She compares my pregnancies to get a better idea of what may happen. I don't think it is going to be anytime REALLY soon, but she did change my mind about maybe you coming a bit early rather than late. Time will tell ;) I am so excited though! I seriously can't wait to hold you in my arms, nurse you, and love on you! Alrighty babe, I better go now. Love you! We are 37 weeks today!
