Okay, I know that my due date is still 3 days away, but I can't help but feeling that this little girl is going to come sooner. In fact, I have penciled her in for tomorrow. For those of you who have stuck with our blog, (despite the fact that I only post every few weeks), please, PLEASE cross your fingers that I get my wish! There's no real reason I'm aiming for tomorrow--just seemed like a good day to me. Plus, I'm tired. And uncomfortable.
Sorry, no pictures to post. But if you all help me get this labor going then I promise the next post will contain cute baby photos!

Kansas City Shower
On Saturday, my good friends, Megan and Amanda, threw a great shower for me. It was so much fun to hang out with all the girls before this baby arrives! Some pictures...

Oops.
So yesterday, I completely wiped out on an uneven sidewalk. I skinned up my knee and feet then landed on my side. I have become so klutzy lately, it's ridiculous! I'm running into doors, knocking things over, and dropping stuff constantly--and it's not like I'm in much of a position to bend over and pick things up.
Anyway, my doctor made me go to the birthing center and stuck me on a monitor for an hour to make sure the baby was okay. Josh and I were going to have a "date night" but we got a trial run to the hospital instead. Everything looked fine--I could even see my little Braxton Hicks contractions on the monitor. I really, really hated laying in that bed hooked up to the machine though. It convinced me even more that I want to labor as long as I can without an epidural. Not saying I won't get one eventually, but I know that I will go nuts if I have to stay in bed for hours and hours, unable to move.
We have our birthing class on Sunday and I'm hoping that I come away from it with a little more confidence. We were able to tour the birthing center with a maternity coordinator on Wednesday (and of course, got a more up-close look after my fall ;)--we really like the facility and the nurses. There are lots of amenities for moms and dads to help make everything more comfortable. I wouldn't say that I'm excited about labor, but we are really feeling ready now for baby's arrival.
Just four more weeks! I'm hoping to post some new pictures soon but I need our laptop to do it (it's currently being repaired). I'll post again soon.
