I can't believe that there are only 2 days till my "due" date.....

However, a "due" date does not exactly mean all that much. It's just a number really. I had started to think that I might deliver early, but now I am not so sure! We found out at our friday midwife appointment that the baby's head is now very far down into my pelvis, and the baby's back which was sort of nested into my right side has moved more to the middle of my belly getting into position for birth! I had suspected that there was a signifigant change, because there were a few days last week that the baby was moving around SO MUCH! It was incredible to feel those movements and see some of them! Again on Saturday night the baby was moving even more, and I was feeling lots of movement in my pelvis...little hands pushing on my bladder! We had some spicey Indian food that night, so Matt was joking that "this could be it". Honestly I was not so unsure about that myself....but nothing happened and we went to sleep and woke up--no baby yet.

The good thing is that we are "ready" for my going into labor....my parents came again on Saturday to help us clean the apartment. I went and got a haircut, a fairly easy to maintain cut.....but also one that doesn't really allow me to keep my hair in pony tail holders all the time. I needed this simple change, as I have started to feel like a rolly polly slob! I spend most days in a tank top and comfy pants! I will have Matty take a photo of my awesome funky hair soon! Also, I have begun to work on some photo collages...finally I have found the motivation to make some work based around my pregnancy. I have been taking photos of course of myself, but I had not felt the motivation to work with them. I will post some of these collages when I have a more complete set of them.

Well darlings....I need to get to work.
Luv, Erin
