Yes, that is one big belly! I am 38.5 weeks...so much for him coming early! I am continuing to contract, but with no results! I have tried coaxing him out with my persuasion, but failed miserably. I have tried squats, pelvic tilts, pineapple, spicy food, walking, etc....and when it comes down to it, he could care less!

Well, a little over a month ago, Kelly came up with a very complicated equation that involves when each of us went through puberty to determine Finley's due date. According to this fool-proof calculation, he is due tomorrow, Wednesday, November 25th between 4pm-8pm. We'll keep you posted! Happy Thanksgiving and lots of love!

Spicy food to induce labor is a crock!

Well, as you can see, I am still pregnant with our little blessing :) I put a smiley face, but I must say that I am beyond the joyful pregnant stage and quite ready to meet Finley. As soon as he hit full-term status, the squats, incessant walking, and spicy food all came into play. However, it seems that these are just actions that make me "feel" like I am in control...the truth of the matter is that this little guy will determine when he is good and ready!

We went to the doctor last Thursday and the good news is that all of the contractions I have been experiencing are now at least productive. I have dilated a little more and my cervix is "extremely soft." I hope that it means that he will be here sooner than later!

If you have any tips, feel free to leave them in the comment section :) There will be a reward for the winning idea! As always, love and faith!

And the real wait begins...

Hello hello! This is day 2 off of the medication and so far, no baby...trust me you'd know otherwise! I am continuing to contract on a regular basis, but continue to sit around the 10 minute mark. One of the days (near or far), I will break that and head down the path to closer contractions and the real excitement will begin! One of my friends pointed out that I hadn't posted any pictures recently so here are a few. I have had 2 more showers since my last post. One was a much-needed "Diaper Bash" and the other was a fun "foo-foo" shower (you know...the really girly kind). Finley is spoiled beyond belief and we are so blessed to have such great friends and family :)

Why does Kenna look so surprised with her length of yarn??

OH! And I almost forgot to share our prize-winning costume with you all. If you can't see it very well, Finley is Humpty Dumpty and Kelly is our wall! We won a snuggie for this brilliance LOL!

We'll keep everyone posted on progress...or lack thereof...it's certainly in God's hands!
