I went to my last doctor appointment yesterday morning. 3-4cm and 50% effaced. She stripped my membranes. Ouch. I had my "bloody show" in the afternoon. I had contractions all day yesterday - nothing painful or very consistent. I woke up in the middle of the night cuz I thought it might be happening. False alarm. No contractions today. 
So. 
Here we are. 
No baby. 
I'm going NUTS. 
I'm sure if I went to the hospital and they broke my water and gave me pitocin I'd have a baby in my arms in a matter of hours. I guess we'll just have to wait until Sunday to do that. And that's only if there's a room available. Heaven help me, it feels like I'm going to be pregnant F.O.R.E.V.E.R.

My mom is a half hour away so that's something to look forward to and keep me distracted.

Chris was super husband/dad and took Fox to Jump 'n Jammin this morning. Meanwhile I assembled the baby swing, play mat, and bouncer. As soon as Fox walked in the door what do you think he did? Climbed right up into the swing. I cannot believe how big he's gotten in less than two years! Jane is going to feel like a feather!

And then he found the newly reassembled mat so of course I had to compare those as well.

Apparently the only thing Fox ever wears is stripes.

Whelp. I hope next time I blog it'll be saying we're having a baby!

  3. The last weeks are sooo long. And to think I was 10 days overdue with Elouan! I was going bonkers and thought I'd explode. He came the day before I had to be induced so Saturday she'll be here! That is my guess!

  12. Hi! I just discovered your blog when I was searching for South Pasadena movie film locations. We have lots in common... (although I'm old enough to be your mother) My husband and I both grew up in South Pas, and South Pasadena Ward is my home ward. We've been gone more years than you've been alive, but I still have friends there. You might want to check out my blog, when you are up in the middle of the night nursing your new baby! (Which will hopefully arrive very soon!) http://stefstyleblog.blogspot.com/
    I'm also a scrapbooker, but I'm digital. It would be great to meet you someday!

  13. We had a false alarm like that about two weeks before Zachary was born, went to the hospital and everything, then nothing, had to be induced on his due date, sooo hard to wait, I know how you feel!! My daughter came a month early so I thought Zachary would too, but he wanted to stay inside...just wait till you bring Jane home, Fox is going to look SO HUGE to you! best of luck, will be checking back here hoping for baby Jane photos! seems like just yesterday you said you were preggo :)

    I'm only 25 weeks along myself. The next 13-15 weeks are going to be so slow! I'm ready for baby now.
