In the Zone

No, I haven't had the baby yet.

Since I am still pregnant, I guess it's time for me to update the blog.

In all of my previous pregnancies, I have had babies between 8 days and 1 day before the due date I came up with (not always the same as the OB's date). My "official" date this time is October third. By our calculations, our "birth Zone" started on Sunday, and stretches to this next Sunday. If baby waits until after Conference weekend, she'll simply create a larger Zone (though, my last two births were 2 days before, and 1 day before, so she could follow that pattern and just go longer than the previous one, and be on her due date, or just after). So, I'm currently sitting around waiting to go into labor at any time, which is incredibly annoying, and frustrating. I'm at that point where I just want to have baby out. I'm tired, sore, and totally cranky.

I did have some maternity pictures taken just over a week ago, but I'm combining that session with a newborn session, and I won't get any of the pics until we're done taking all of them, so I don't have any good belly pictures to show.

So, here's a bad belly picture from this morning. Bad lighting, bad hair, no make-up, weird face... but at least you can see the 39 week belly.

So as not to end this post quite so depressing... we do have good news. We moved into our new house about a month ago now, last night we committed to buying a new (to us) van, and we received the official letter from BYU stating that Dave finished all master's & thesis requirements and will receive his diploma when they are mailed out after December graduations!

The only "new" thing for this year that we're still waiting on is baby...
