Came and went…but here is to 39 weeks!

The 20th has come and gone.  That was my original due date.  The ultrasound due date set me at July 30.  So…today I am exactly 39 weeks according to that date!

I can’t help but constantly think about when I will be having this baby.  I am not anxious by any means about it, I am just curious 🙂 Yesterday and today was the first time that I really felt like I wanted to have her.  It’s just getting hard.  Many things ache at this point. But I don’t want to complain too much because I am very blessed to have the pregnancy I have had.

I don’t have my hospital bag packed yet, I don’t have the girls packed yet.  Maybe it’s my procrastination that is keeping this baby in longer.  All I know is that these contractions are sure increasing in strength.  That’s good…but painful.  It’s all worth it in the end 🙂

I thought I would have Lili take some pictures of my belly on the original due date.  Here is what I look like right now (well on Thursday):

38 and half wks 138 and half wks 2

Well she wasn’t done. After she took the original pics, she wanted to take a couple more. So, how does a photographer tell her daughter NOT to take pics. This is what she got…happy me! 🙂

I have so many people guessing when I will have this baby. And for both our families, this is a very busy time for us. Between birthday’s, anniversaries, death anniversaries of dear family members, I am just about convinced that this sweet baby girl will be born on one of them.

I was originally hoping she would be born on the 23rd, that was the day that my Grandpa passed away. I get teary eyed just thinking about that. I miss him dearly… :”(

Here are the dates that remain that she could fall on:
July 23rd :: Our dear friends’ anniversary – Dirk and Hilary
July 24th :: Nothing
July 25th :: Nothing
July 26th :: My mother-in-law’s birthday and Evenlynn’s birthday, daughter of my girlfriend Cheryl
July 27th :: Nothing
July 28th :: My grandmother’s birthday and my girlfriend Anya’s birthday
July 29th :: Mike’s sister and her husband’s anniversary
July 30th :: Our nephew Joe’s birthday
See, I told you there were a lot!

Do you have a guess?
