4 days to go!

Looks like we're going to get to meet our little girl very soon!  I can't believe she's due in 4 days, although I'd love to meet her sooner than that!  My belly has been tight and I've had some contractions, but nothing that is consistent or that I can't breathe through.  I go to the doctor in the morning, so we'll see what she has to say.  I'm so excited!!  I can't wait to meet our  little princess! :)

We're down to 11 days!  I can't wait until our little lady arrives!!  I keep sitting here watching my belly move all around.  It's like little waves, as she tries to get comfortable in that tiny space.  I know I will miss this for sure!  She also gets the hiccups all the time...at least 3-4 times a day lately.  It's cute!  I can't wait to see who she looks like.  I have a feeling she's going to look like Ethan, but we'll see.

The boys are super excited for her to arrive!  They keep asking me when I'm going to have the doctor "take the baby out."  Cracks me up!  If only it were that simple!!  I go for my appt tomorrow and am anxious to see if I have dialated any more.  I have had random contractions, but nothing regular. 

Last night my parents came over for our own little baby shower.  It was nice.  They put together two adorable baskets of gifts for the baby.  One basket was new clothes they had purchased for her.  The other basket was of clothes, toys, and trinkets my mom saved from when I was a baby.  They also brought over several outfits and dresses that were mine when I was a baby.  It was a special night, seeing all the outfits and toys, and listening to all the memories my parents shared.  I can't wait for our sweet daughter to wear and play with them, too!

Today is my first day off work and I was quite lazy.  I'm feeling quite a lot of pressure from the baby and so I pretty much kept my feet elevated and relaxed today!  I did do a load of the boys' laundry and picked up the house a bit, so I guess I was a little productive!  :)
