39 weeks 5 days

Last night was interesting, I kept dreaming I was having contractions, I would wake and could not tell if they were real or just in my dreams. So weird. I am curious to see what happens tonight since I have actually had some mild contractions throughout the day.
Craig and I spent some, much needed, time together at Glen Ivy Hot Springs today. We enjoyed the mud, hot springs, a yummy lunch, beautiful sunshine and awesome conversation. It was SO wonderful to reconnect a little bit before this new baby arrives. I had some cramping while we were there but nothing consistent. We came home and got ready for some more maternity photos. We took indoor maternity photos last week, they turned out amazing! So today we headed to prospect park for a few more. After photos we decided to go test drive a minivan! We have been wanting a minivan for a LONG time but just now have had the time to actually go look at them. We looked at the Toyota Sienna, it was nice but there are a few things I am not sure about. Our plan is to test drive a few others makes before we decide. After the car dealership, we headed to Shakey's Pizza. I have not been there since I was a kid and I didn't remember it the same. It was packed, the kids had a great time planing games, while I held our table and had some semi consistent contractions. By the time dinner was over we decided to head to Bed Bath & Beyond to get new sheets, since it was feeling like we might end up having a baby some time soon. We got home from the store and Craig got the kids to bed while I finished editing some photos and took a hot bath (and drank a small glass of wine). The bath and wine helped to slow things down and I have not had as much activity for the past 2 hours. I am still hopeful this baby will wait about one more week, but who knows :)

I will write again if I end up awake with contractions, Craig seems to think this baby will come soon.
Sleep well,
Natalie
