So there IS an end in sight

Am I a drama queen? Maybe a little bit! But honestly - Last week I really felt like I would be pregnant forever.

I went to the Dr on Monday (19th) and thankfully I'm starting to make some progress, although it is just a little. I have been having contractions for the last week but they have not been close enough together to go to Labor and Delivery. The last thing we want to do is go to the hospital and get sent home. So we are going to wait it out until it is time. They cant tell how long it will take until I go into labor, but I did ask the Dr to induce me if Alexis hasn't arrived by the 30th.

My parents and sister will be arriving in Southern California on the 29th, and we all would like it if they were here for her birth. Although I would really like to have her before then, it would be really special for our family if everyone is here!

Here is a picture of my tummy. This was taken yesterday, one week before I'm due:



I dont feel like I'm getting any bigger, which is fine with me, but I can tell that I'm dropping.

Keep checking back, hopefully my next post will be announcing that I'm on my way to the hospital...... send some *Labor Prayers* please.
