Making the best use of my time

Well, since I am now 3 days overdue, I have been trying to make the best use of my time. I have been really crampy and having contractions infrequently, but nothing consistent. I guess this girl is just like Chloe and in no big hurry to make her entrance. I have a dr. appt on Wednesday so I might have my midwife sweep my membranes and see if that gets anything started if it doesn't happen before then.

I have finished the main part of Chloe's costume and I am surprised at how easy it was and how good it turned out. In fact, I went out today and bought some more fleece to make her some jammies from the same pattern since it was so quick and easy. All I have left to make for her costume is the hat with bunny ears and a little tail. I will probably also make her a little trick or treat bag as well, since I have plenty of scrap fleece.

As for me, I am huge and ready for this girl to come out. Like I did with Chloe, I took a picture on my due date, so here are some pictures from a recent trek to Lyman Orchards, pumpkin painting and my due date photo.


I think we got more paint on her hands then the pumpkin.

Here I am on my due date.

Here is Chloe modeling the costume.





She liked it so much that she didn't want to take it off!
