Maternity Photos

I've been wanting to take some Maternity Pictures for quite a while now. I was going to have my friend Vallery take some for me (she is AWESOME at what she does! See her work here http://www.valerybunnell.com/). But I was going through the whole preterm labor drama when we had planned to take pictures :(. So, Darrin had the day off today and just for fun we decided we'd go take pictures since I'm still pregnant. Gotta keep myself busy! So, we went and took pictures at the Garden Park Ward and had a lot of fun! This REALLY nice camera man from Channel 5 news was there and had an hour break and offered to take pictures of us both too. How lucky is that?! So, that's how we captured some of the both of us. Thank you Channel 5 Camera Man!

Ticking Time Bomb

I feel like a ticking time bomb. Literally. I believe that every pregnant woman has this feeling near the end. Everywhere I go it seems like I get comments like, "WOW-you're about ready to pop!" and, "Be sure and stay away from sharp objects!" (it took me a minute to get that one the first time I heard it...)

My OBGYN is going out of town next Tuesday. For a week. So, someone I’ve never met could be delivering my baby. Not a huge deal but kinda sad :(. He get’s back into town the night of the 23rd of June. I will be put on the schedule for the morning of the 24th to be induced if I haven’t had my sweet baby by then. So, THERE IS AN END IN SIGHT! What a blessing to know that I WILL have this baby :). The end is near in sight. Now it just takes a lot of patience to get to the end.

PATIENCE. I am just SO excited to meet my little boy though. So is Darrin- to be Daddy. PATIENCE.

P.S. For those who are interested I am now dilated to a "loose" 3 and 90% effaced.
