Today I had my last baby shower with Austin's side of the family. For a minute there I was thinking the baby was going to come before then, but she obviously didn't! I was supposed to get my membranes stripped on Wednesday, but totally chickened out. I had a bad cold and was afraid it would put me into labor when I was sick, but I did progress a lot this week. YAY! I was dilated to a 2-1/2 and 90% effaced. Now they are planning on stripping my membranes on Tuesday, and I think I will be brave enough to go through with it this week. I feel more prepared now that we got the car seat. It is starting to feel more real that within the next 2 weeks our life is going to change completely. We can't wait to see what she looks like! My poor feet are unrecognizable. They are SO swollen; I can't fit into ANY of my shoes. Even my flip flops leave dents. It's so weird; everything on my body is super-sized. Tonight we had a little scare that my water broke. We were sitting outside orange-leaf eating our ice cream, and when I got up to leave, I was all wet. We felt the seat and there was no sign of water. I ran to the bathroom, and it was a false alarm. We're still not sure where that water came from, but it gave us butterflies for the rest of the night! I can't believe this is really going to happen, but we are definitely hoping for a baby sometime this week!

You are going to be such a sweet mommy! I can't wait to see pictures of your little girl. I'm sorry about the swelling- that part is no fun at all. But, it usually goes away pretty quickly after delivering!! I hope everything goes well for you and baby girl during labor and delivery. I can't believe it's any day now!!! Good luck to you and your cute, little family!
ADORABLE!!! Truly. I am so excited for you guys! :D
