Nothing exciting to report....unfortunately....

But no news at this point is probably good news. I'm grateful I'm not on bed rest or something miserable like that. I'm 38 weeks and 3 days and had a quick check up yesterday at the doctor's. The baby had moved down just a little bit, I'm about 70% effaced, but not dilating yet. So we continue to wait! We talked about inducement, but that would only be an option after I've passed my due date on May 31st.

Ben is still in super nesting mode. I had the nesting urge for a little bit a few weeks back, but now I'm just too tired to throw myself into anything for any stretch of time. So I watch him mostly. He planted a window box with some flowers for me this weekend, pink geraniums for our little girl! He also planted some strawberry plants in the backyard (to go along with his pumpkin, tomato and corn plants) and hung a hanging basket on our front porch. Looks like a home!! He's been busy cleaning the house, vacuuming at night after work, thinking of lists of things for us to do once we get ready to head to the hospital. In a word, he's been AWESOME. I'm very lucky to have someone so wonderful to me during pregnancy.

Here are some recent photos - none of just the belly though. I have way too many stretch marks to show off to the world!! You can get an idea of how big I am, even when I'm wearing black.

And to finish it off, here's a funny video from my friend Paige. This cracks me up!!! Ben dry heaves after he cleans up after Tanner's accidents sometimes, so I wonder if he'll be able to not do the same with baby poopies!
