Last Time Pregnant!

You would think with me being a third time Mom that I would remember what the last month of pregnancy is like. Nope I had amnesia about it. I forgot how uncomfortable it is, how uncontrollably excited you become in meeting your new addition, how it slowly starts to control all your thoughts. Luckily, I had my doula on demand (Aunt Jen) in town the last week to assist Greg with controlling my madness. 


My attempt at an artsy pregnancy picture in Hawaii. 8 Months along here

 8 Month Bump
 9 Month Bump
 Like I said, I would try ANYTHING to get that baby out, including Hula Hooping when I am 38 weeks pregnant.
The neighbors had something to talk about at dinner.
 Luckily, I have an amazing husband who was sweet enough to give me a pedicure

Greg and Ellie are about at the same level in pedicure skill but the thought is what counts!
 Greg sent an SOS to Aunt Jen because we thought it was the REAL DEAL. Well it was a False Alarm for labor and she ended up staying for a week with us till the real deal labor came on. What an amazing friend she is.
We tried to walk it out at the zoo. Nope no labor.


 We tried biking- no labor
 Swimming at the pool- no labor. But Ainsley became part of the Pool Rat crew!
 We went to an amusement park for the day- no labor.
This was our false alarm when we WALKED to the hospital to try to progress things more (we only live about half a mile next to the hospital).
Finally, I gave in and just became a bump on a log and rested. It was a fun week though, and we appreciate Matt giving up his girls (and his car- he just did a motorcyle all week) for over a week.
