Nothing, Nada, ZIP!!


So, for enquiring minds NO Erin has not had the baby yet (yes she's at 40 weeks plus 4 days or 41 weeks plus 2 days depending on who you're listening to)!!! We PROMISE to let you know when baby arrives! And since everyone keeps asking, I'll give you the gory detai
ls to date. She went to her midwife appointment on Tuesday and wasn't dilated but was 25% effaced. They told her to get some walking in, along with some other suggestions...We walked Wednesday and this morning at her appointment she was dilated 1 1/2 cm and was a little more effaced. They stripped her membranes but not as 'forcefully' as they did with Jackson (who was born in less than 12 hours if I'm remembering correctly). They told her today if she continues to have cramping to come into the office in the morning and they'll strip her membranes again. Erin has suggested that I may want to get to bed relatively early as she's had some contractions this evening.

The camera Darvin bought online for my birthday was delivered today, so if this baby girl is just a little prima donna waiting for her first photo shoot I'm happy to tell her that it's OK to be born now...ANY...TIME now!!! Nana's been here 2 weeks awaiting her arrival and I'm leaving on Sunday, so, REALLY, any time now!!!

On our 'walk' in the mall today we stopped at the Merry Go Round to watch it while Mommy went to the bathroom. Erin indicated that Jackson had ridden the M-G-R before but that he was petrified holding on to her TIGHT the whole time. WELL...he was giving me all indications that it was his greatest desire to ride, so we bought a token (which he was VERY proud to hold until it was his turn to ride). No scared little Jackson THIS time, he's a big boy now Mommy!


Yesterday Erin and I met Ashley, Vicki, Rob, Chloe and Bobby at Justin Rush's house where Ashley and Justin had prepared a wonderful meal for all of us. Was fun to see the Tovar kids and have another chance to chat with family!
