I am hoping to have this baby before my due date, which is next saturday sept 5th. this weekend would be a nice time i think .... at my last midwife appointment, she said that the baby is so incredibly low it is crazy. but since he is, the opening of my cervix is too far back to tell the status (which frankly is a bit confusing to me) so who knows if i am dilated or close or anything... but i feel ready and am excited to give birth and go through the whole process. my midwife will be with me and that gives me much comfort. she is so awesome, and i am confident i can manage labor better than last time. lately my belly keeps shooting straight out, i would post a picture but we still cannot find our cord, hopefully we will find it before he comes! ive also gained nearly 40 lbs which is more than with either of my other children.... i do admit these past two weeks i have been eating a little more ice cream than i should. (: but oh well, i will be ok (:

our home is mostly in shape, except for our bedroom. which is really a bummer. i hate being in there with all the clutter and lavender walls! we need to paint but i dont think that is going to happen any time soon unfortunately. maybe someone should submit my story to hgtv and get our room a makeover! (:

anyways, we are ready and will see a baby soon!

we will keep you posted!
