In the last few weeks we've also visited some of Robert's relatives in Newport Beach who were in town for wedding, which we also went to last Thursday. At the wedding we picked up Robert's Mom and she stayed with us for the weekend and helped Robert out with the front lawn. The lawn used to look like this:
then after the hard day work of Robert and his Home Depot friends it looked like this:
and now after Robert and his mom worked on it all Saturday morning... it still pretty much looks the same, except the dirt is darker because we've been keeping it wet and it smells awful because it's covered in manure. BUT, hopefully it will soon start looking green once the seed they planted starts coming up.I finally dropped on Monday. I was beginning to think baby was just going to wait until I went into labor to get snug down there. I'm not sure if I look any different, but I can definitely feel that baby is lower. I had my latest OB appointment on Monday and they said I was 1 cm dilated. I've also been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions. But the sad truth is that doesn't really mean anything. Baby can come tomorrow, or she can wait until next week. *Sigh* But she will probably be induced if she doesn't come by next weekend so there is some kind of deadline here. Well, back to waiting.
P.S. The reason I had two doctor's appointments the other week was because I had an ultrasound to check up on baby's size since I am small. They told us she was about 6 lbs 10 ounces, and referred us to see specialist the next week to check her internal organs. The specialist told us all she saw was very healthy 7 lb 8 ounce baby. Hmm, how big do you think she really is? Point is though, she's fine.

do we get a final pic?
speed walking around albertson's is really good at inducing if you need things to pick up the pace. my dr also told me that doing what got the baby in there also is effective at convincing them to come out. my sister did the castrol oil, but wouldn't recommend it.
good luck. she'll be there before you know it.
I'm surprised it's taken you until now to get anxious:). Glad she's healthy; don't put too much trust into weight measurements they give you yet, they're often way off.
I hope the baby comes soon, and naturally. I'd avoid an induction as long as possible.
I know exactly what you mean. I am extremely anxious to have this baby! I wonder who will be first. Good luck and let us know when something happens!
Yeah! She is coming soon! I keep thinking about you and wondering "is Julia here yet?" I have even tried to get Tyler to give me some sign/response as to when...but he doesn't give anything away. I am sure he knows though, they were playing in Heaven until Grandma Wheat gave them a shove to get down here. :) We are so excited for you!! Sometimes having an induction date helps. They tend to come on their own when they know there is a deadline. Good luck, and just go with the flow.
