Well, I am 38 weeks and 2 days... which means my due date is 1 week and 5 days away.
I have found myself singing "Still Crazy" by Paul Simon but I have changed the lyrics to "Still Pregnant"... Last Friday I realized that I would never not be pregnant. This is the new me... I will be this way forever. My friend and nurse/midwife, informed me this is the final stage of emotions before birth... so, that means I am done, right?
I had some teaser contractions this past weekend that felt like mesntral cramps. I have been taking evening primrose oil, lots of walks and drinking tea with red raspberry leaf in it. Anything I can do to get this show on the road! My friend gave me some Black Cohosh that the midwife recommends I start next week... it is supposed to make me have small contractions so I am going to ask more questions about it before I take it.
Ben and I bought a Pinot Gris and a Pinot Grigio to celebrate after the birth with. We are definitely ready!
Ben has been so awesome throughout all of this. So patient and understanding. He has taken on so much of the housework, too. I know he is as ready as I am to move on from pregnancy!
Anyhow, as you can see, I am big...

You look great. The black is very slimming.
Hey, did you airbrush out the stretch marks or did you just not get any?!!! Lucky Lady! My belly looks like a spider wove a web all over it. Worth every bit though. It's funny, Jeff and I adapted a Paul Simon song too! Instead of singing 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, we've been singing 50 Ways to Leave Your Mother: head out the back Jack, get a new plan Stan, don't need to be coy Roy...you get the idea... :) You look fantastic! Won't be long now.
