And this picture was taken a couple weeks ago…
Maybe the last bare belly pic, due to the now multiplying stretch marks across the bottom of my ever expanding abdomen.
I haven’t posted lately because there’s been little change with me and lots going on around here! Caleb graduated from nursing school — Hooray!!
Caleb graduated May 8, 2010
It is very nice to not be dragging myself into the office anymore, and to have time to relax, organize, nest, eat, nap, whatever… in my own home. BUT… the waiting is really the worst part. Since I’ve been having these Braxton Hicks contractions for months now, and pretty regularly for weeks, I felt pretty sure she’d come any time since week 36. But two false-alarms later, I’m wondering if she’s EVER going to make an appearance! 
Mom has been awesome! She’s here “babysitting” me during the day when Caleb is in Indianapolis for job training. She’s keeping my house clean and my laundry done, taking me to my doctor’s appointments, and basically keeping me from going nuts with anxiety and anticipation. She and Dad gutted my flowerbeds and have been working really hard on doing the things I haven’t been able to do outdoors this spring.
Today’s doc appointment showed little change… still only 1.5 cm dilated, but Dr. Vinson “stripped the membranes” around my cervix, which is every bit as unpleasant as it sounds. But everyone I know swears that once the doctor does that, labor starts soon after. We shall see!
The nursery is coming along very nicely, and I will post pictures of that tomorrow.
