I'm still pregnant - I know what you're thinking, you're not even due yet - of course you're still pregnant. So for the update.Officially I'm saying I'm due tomorrow because that's the date I'm due according to conception, but the 11th is also my due date so . . . whatever, it's a pregnant thing!
Why I'm saying "I'm still pregnant" - because this little teaser of a child is enjoying making me think I'm going to have a baby just to have everything end. Tuesday I had contractions on and off, nothing real significant but more than just those braxton hicks I was getting every once in awhile. I kind of thought something, but not really - after all I was doing water balloons and running around in the sprinkler/hose with the kids. A little more activity then maybe I should have been doing. Ha ha! That night they continued but not that big of a deal. Wednesday - woke up to continued contractions and called my mom, just for a heads up as to what was happening. They died off a bit but I got what I wanted to get done around here, went to the store, etc. By evening they were quite a bit more intense (if you want to say that) and I could actually time them. Called my mom and decided to get the kids ready for bed. Unfortunately as Kurt was rocking Amelia they stopped completely - Argh! Thursday, nothing really but the regulars like Wednesday. Now Friday, on and off but nothing much.
I'm learning patience - Landen was my first and of course it was going to take forever. Amelia I wasn't having contractions (or at least I thought) and my water broke before I knew what was going on. Now this little stinker is doing all kinds of things. Oh, and so many think they know how pregnancy is when they've only had two - each person is different, each pregnancy is different!
I'm not discouraged like I was a little bit yesterday, just going with the flow today. Hoping I can go out for dinner tonight - that makes a pregnant girl happy! Hopefully I have a post this weekend that I'm in "active/real" labor or there is a new baby boy or girl in our arms! Yay!

ooh- good luck! I have several friends who either have had babies in the past week or are having contractions already and are bound to have their babies soon! Birth is so exciting. Best wishes for a wonderful and complication free labor and delivery. :D
Can't believe it's almost time for you!! You seem to be taking this all in stride. I hate how worked up I get when labor begins. That's probably the reason why I had such a horrible time with my first. I had no clue how to manage the pain. You are my hero! Hope things progress very soon. :)
To answer your question...it's a sticker. :) My SIL works at a graphic designer. She designed it and had it printed at the shop where she works.
I'm so excited for you! Are you going to blog through labor at all? Or at least let us know if it's happening? I can't wait to hear the news!
So...it looks like you haven't posted since the 7th. Might that mean that there is a new little baby in your arms? ;)
Thinking of you,
Stephanie
