YES, I'm still here.

Still trucking, still waddling, still uncomfortable, still pregnant. 38w4d, to be exact. So maybe my doctor lied to me, or maybe Avery is very tricksy! Either way, every time I sit up in the middle night for the last week (2-3 times) I expect to feel the little POP of my water breaking. BUT NOTHING! All of the action I was feeling 1.5 weeks ago has ceased.

Which was actually a good thing, because it allowed us to finally complete the nursery! I still have things I want to do in there, but that can be done later, just like we did in Harlowe's room. I don't have the energy to worry about it now.



Harlowe loves playing in Avery's crib. She gives it 2 thumbs up.
I realize that I no longer fit in our little bathroom mirror; Avery is edging me out. Yesterday she was estimated to be 8.5-9 pounds already, and I was barely more dilated than I was 2 weeks ago. Bummer, dude. Remember when I was waffling over an epidural or not? I no longer waffle. It's happening. I think, I mean I'm pretty sure...
I have 2 theories for Avery's birthday. One - just like with Harlowe, I will pack up my desk on a Friday afternoon and peace out, and my water will break that night. Two - also just like Harlowe, Avery will want to share a birthday with her auntie. Well, it just so happens that Auntie Laura's birthday is on Sunday! Whatever she has planned, we're basically ready for her. I can't wait to meet my second little princess (and also to not have her clawing at or resting on my cervix)!
