Update...almost 38 weeks

I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow. Saw my midwife yesterday. I'm 90% effaced and a little more dilated-- 2 plus cm. Having periodic bouts of cramping and/or some painful contractions, but nothing very regular. Then I sometimes go for hours or even days of things being pretty calm. I do feel like it will be "soon." But it's anyone's guess really.

Have you tried jumping on a trampoline?

Just a thought.

No, but Jen and I did that when we were pregnant with Ethan and Emily--and I think it worked...and they were born one day apart. Hmm...you've got me thinking. :)

Wrestle an alligator. It worked for me.
Also, I think it's probably time for us to start making bets.
I think this might just be a Valentine's baby. If it is, will you please name it VALERIE??? Or how about just Val if it's a boy?
Anyone?

Erin, oddly enough, Wade has liked the name Valerie for at least the last two pregnancies (right along with Kiwi, though)...

At the rate we're going, I think Valentine's Day is going to come and go...baby seems quite content to sit in there all squished and gaining baby fat.

Maybe baby's waiting until Aunt Bria comes home from China on Monday?

OOOoooh! Wouldn't it be fun if baby came just in time for Auntie! What a thoughtful little one.
