At the time of this post I am not technically due for another 25 days, but I&#8217;d surprised if I make it another 3 weeks.  That is not just hopeful pregnant lady talk, either, my body has already started latent labor.  At the last doctor&#8217;s appointment I had dilated to 1-2cm and was 50% effaced with the baby&#8217;s head &#8220;verrrrry low.&#8221;  It is a hopeful sign, but I can&#8217;t forget this happening last time and Ruby didn&#8217;t come until 4 days after the due date.  This feels different, but we&#8217;ll see.  Whenever labor really kicks in, the doctor announced that it will be an easy, quick labor.  Thanks for jinxing it!!!  <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I have been continuing to try to limit my activity in hopes of staving off delivery until the baby is really ready.  Don&#8217;t want him or her before the little lungs and other body parts are ready, but now that we are in the 37th week it should be safe for him\/her to come.  In the past few days the contractions I have been having sporadically have started coming a little more often and a little harder, but I think it is just false or practice labor teasing me.<\/p>\n<p>Just in case, we have finally gotten totally prepared for the little one&#8217;s arrival.  I am pre-registered at the hospital, the carseat is in the back of the van, and the nursery is ready.  We had to move Ruby out of the nursery and into a big girl room before we could put up the crib and get out all of the baby clothes.  It was quite the project, especially for poor Chad since I haven&#8217;t been supposed to do much work.  I helped with washing and putting away linens and clothes and stocking diapers, butt paste, and all the other necessities.  Everything is ready and waiting for a baby to come wear the tiny clothes, sleep in the bassinet, craddle or, crib, and complete our family and home.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a picture of Chad and I at the beach, something of a end-of-pregnancy tradition for us.
