We're still wai...Thank you Auntie! and Kristin! We're still waiting, but I know that this is pretty common for first time babies. I'm going in today for another check up and hoping for some progress... I've felt more cramping and sensations in my uterus, lower back and thighs, so I am trusting that my body is moving in the right direction, and I'm practicing letting go and letting nature take over, not trying to rush anything (yet). Going to Yoga on Tuesday really helped me relax, breathe, and not think too much (get me into my lizard brain, and not my logical one). Those ladies there are all so supportive, whether or not they all realize it- just being in a room with a bunch of pregnant ladies who are taking care of themselves and their babies with their practice and all breathing together is a great source of strength, especially when I'm the only one there 40+ weeks! They believe in me, and my body's abilities which is a good energy to be surrounded with! Cat the instructor is also so awesome, and reminded me, "Patience is the first lesson in parenthood," and my baby's helping me learn and practice this one already. We'll see if she is still enjoying her luxury suite in my uterus tonight, and if so then I'll take it as her way of letting me get to another yoga class tonight. In the meantime, baking cookies, freezing more food, drawing, writing, watching movies, and trying to nap as much as possible and cuddle with my doggies and kitties. She'll be here soon enough! :)Tyler Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070839344656859569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950199445256388960.post-64063926200862323552013-10-08T22:32:35.977-05:002013-10-08T22:32:35.977-05:00I did much of the same to get things started! I we...I did much of the same to get things started! I went in on my due date for my check up and the receptionist said, "What are you doing here?" I sighed, "I don't know!" The Doctor checked me, she said I was not at all dilated and that I would probably have to be induced in another week. I was bummed! I was really over being pregnant as Jody loved stretching out and stepping on my bladder in the last few weeks of it. That night I went home and sat on that ball like a mama bird on her eggs, visualizing my water breaking and then a storm hit..a big one. I laid down next to Jason, (my Jason) hehe, and all of a sudden I was soaked! Such an adventure, and an unforgettable experience! I am so excited for you and can't wait to meet her!!! Anyways, I really think the ball helped, it might have been the storm or the full moon but keep bouncing! Love you and good luck-KristinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950199445256388960.post-45394503002851347492013-10-08T12:55:07.001-05:002013-10-08T12:55:07.001-05:00Hi sweetie you are beautiful!

So your old auntie who has been to a few births :-) - my worldly advice - stop thinking about it! Go get a bunch of engrossing movies put your feet up and lose yourself in something non-birth related! Turn off the brain! You'll need it a lot in the next few weeks. I love you!! xoxoxoAuntie Jonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950199445256388960.post-71723756874588948762013-10-08T11:57:38.409-05:002013-10-08T11:57:38.409-05:00Oh didn't think of that!

That's why they are amazed you can drive! See y'all soon!Jill Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517129321715568183noreply@blogger.com
