Well as much as I would LOVE for this to be a blog regarding my birth story, my sweet little Michaela apparently does not want to come and see us just yet. She is holding out on us and being stubborn like her Momma!
Everything is going well, I feel good, tired at times but nothing major. The hardest part now is waiting. When you have been told that you are not going to make your due date and then nothing happens it can be hard. We were looking forward to having her last week and then nothing, maybe over the weekend, but nothing and now we are 9 days away from my due date and I am just about to go crazy! I want to hold my little angel so bad! She is pressing out of me so hard especially with her little feet, so cute! We managed to get some on video too! What a memory that will be.
Last night we had our breast feeding class which was rescheduled from the 10th of March. At least we were able to make this prior to her birth because it was SO helpful. The instructor was amazing and we learned so much. I am hoping for a good BFing experience but it is good to know all the things that can happen so we can be prepared.
Today my mission is to WALK like crazy, eat spicy food, and hope that the old wives tale of babies being born on the night of a full moon comes true! If not, well then I will just get to enjoy her little feet pressing out of me one more day! It is such a miracle to see!
I am so happy. Impatient, yes, but so happy to be going through this. I will miss each and every moment of this. I am going to write a final thoughts on pregnancy blog later today after my walks because I want to sit down and replay all the precious moments in my mind and look back on what was by far the most amazing journey of my life! But for now, I am off to walk and hopefully get in for another prenatal massage! Gotta love those!
The funny thing about all of this is I know that God has his hands on Michaela's life and she will be born in HIS timing, when it is right. I have peace knowing this but God also made me to be an impatient one! LOL! We are just so excited to welcome our little miracle into the world.
This morning I walked a good 2 miles and after lunch will be heading out for another 2 miles, more if I can. SO excited!!

Good to keep walking.
When I was pregnant with my babies 37 and 34 years ago - my mom was so into me having my first baby. When I was 7 months along I was quite big and thought that I had to be further along than what the doctors had to say. My mom was right in there with me on this and she wanted to encourage my labor. She enticed me to drink castor oil and orange juice. Orange juice has never tasted the same. Not one glass but 2 and that was on that one particular day and I allowed this to happen on 2 occasions. It didn't work but I spent many hours on the toilet. And then the walking... It was thought that if you walk a lot that would cause labor to come on - so I walked a lot. Need I go on - back then there were so many 'old wives tales' to encourage birth but that baby is going to come when they are ready. Hope you got a laugh out of this. It certainly is funny today.
Babies come in their own time...
I have really enjoyed following your blog and reading your progress month to month...
All the best with the birth...
WOWSERS -- I wish I would've looked like that with EITHER of my pregnancies. You should've modeled for FIT PREGNANCY!!! :-)
