Nothing new...

...to update.
No baby, mild Braxton Hicks, just achy but not today somehow.
If i go into labour, one of the cues of going into labour will be confirmed in my life.
You know, the one where you get so much energy before it is going to happen, because i have had so much energy today.
I mean, it is still a challenge to walk when you feel something in between your legs, have 30+ lbs. on you and have 2 girls running around all day and ask you to do stuff for them just about "all day"?
My midwife called me today, worried that while she is 1 1/2 hours away from me i could go into labour and she will have to fly all the way back.
I honestly, dont feel that labour will go so fast for me. I guess, i am a pessimist after my 48 hours labour with Foo and my 11 hours with Lulu.

Sara (my midwife) had a dream last week, where she sees me giving birth this coming Thursday with a 4 hours labour.
I have heard she does get the "gut feeling" when mom is going to go (into labour that is)but we will see.
i dont want to keep my hopes up that it will happen since i dont really know or have an true EDD. i just keep trusting that the Lord has the perfect timing for this little one to come and that we will do fine together.

Ben and i decided it was time for the belly casting.
It is quite emotional for me to talk about this because i have missed the opportunity to create such a beautiful memory with my other 2 babies.
i wish i would have met someone back then to let me know of this wonderful keepsake.
It is easy but messy and weird feeling BUT worth every second of it and every picture. We plan on painting it with some acrylics after it is completely dry and when we have time to just create. Foo was excited when i mentioned "painting". :D
Now, Lulu is not even caring what is up around her. i dont really think she has the capacity to understand that there is a baby in my belly. But what can you expect from a 17 months old? not much, in my opinion.
Picture to come soon, but just to give you heads up.... No, i am not naked. I am wearing underwear.
