Everything is looking good and moving right along. We came home and had breakfast after our morning appointment (oatmeal for me and a chili omelet for Ryan). We hung out for a bit and  took a long nap (almost three hours!). Afterwards, we went for a walk on the Chehalis Western trail. I had a few small contractions on the way back. Grandma Marlene and Aunt Rochea brought us dinner, so we’re about to eat and relax for a while.

Update: Dinner was delicious! Thank you again :).

We have an 8am appointment with our lovely midwife to see where I am and what baby is up to.  And at 2pm, a routine 42-week ultrasound to check amniotic  fluid and whatnot. Less sleep and feeling pretty crampy this morning. THIS MIGHT BE IT!!! We will post again this afternoon when we get back :).

Didn’t sleep much last night, and baby spent much of the time wiggling and stretching under my ribs. Hoping to get a break in the weather so that we can go for a walk, a long, vigorous walk.

My mom has a new blog and has posted pictures of the baby shower here: http://pschouviller.blogspot.com/

Baby is still on board. Thank you for your thoughts :). We promise to keep blogging.

And so we wait, baby is still not ready I guess. Maybe he/she prefers June. We have a few movies to watch (The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus should have come in the mail :)), and we are just going to take it easy today.

Maureen and Annabella visited today, and we all went out to dinner at Peurto de Angeles (spicy food again). We met Dad and Cathy at the restaurant. When we got home, Maureen gave me a massage, focusing on labor-inducing pressure points in my legs and feet. This technique has worked for several of her clients (her friend Sarah’s water broke immediately after).

Still no baby, but the night is young….

Well, approximately anyway. Baby is calm this morning after being very active yesterday. I took a long nap after getting back from town and slept fairly well last night, so I am feeling rested, relaxed and ready.

and for a walk. We thought that we would check out the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge as the estuary restoration project there was recently completed. Maybe we will eat some spicy food afterward, and maybe the baby will be coming tonight! We will keep you posted.

Love,

the Muffs

Hello from the baby’s Mamma. We saw our fabulous midwife this afternoon, and it looks like I am about 4 cm dilated and 90% effaced. I am still feeling great :). We think that it might be tomorrow…or not. But we will keep you posted, promise.
