Another week, another appointment. This time we met with one of the RN's because Dr. Lindstrom was out on call delivering a baby. Beth is a cool RN, so I never mind meeting with her too. In fact, this time was especially beneficial because she was able to actually answer my question about the sharp and sudden pang that I've been experiencing for the last couple of weeks. After describing it to her, she explained to me that this happens as I dilate. That makes sense! I was so thankful to get a woman's perspective... and one who has had three children and knows what it's like! In addition, Kevin and I were pleased to learn that I have progressed to 1 cm.
Here's lookin' at 37 weeks!
And 37 week ankles! My poor feet!
My last day of work is next Friday, the 25th, and I'm so excited! If Isaac is on time, I'll have that last week of July to rest and get ready for his arrival. It's going to be great. If he decides to come early, then, well I'll be thankful if it happens at home rather than the office.
I'll tell you one thing for sure. I am at maximum capacity... I don't know if I can fit any more baby in here!

Woo-hoo! The 25th is my birthday! What a great day to have a baby! I'll keep my fingers crossed that he decides to go early!
Seth is a little "worried" that Isaac may come on his birthday, July 23rd. Another of our nephews was born the day BEFORE his birthday. He will be 2 this year. He was laughing that he is starting to get too much competition from the little guys. HAHA--I know you must be miserable right now, but it will be here before you know it! Love ya, gal!--Amy
at least you're rocking out the cute toes during this whole process, huh? :) i remember thinking at the end, "how can i get any bigger?!?" rest assured, they do come out!
I'm sorry, Rachel, the last month is just miserable (and I found out, different pregancies = different miseries - how comforting, hey?). But as you look around the store, you will notice babies --- people never stay pregnant forever, although, I know you'll feel this way. He will come out, and babies are WAY better on the outside! Hang in there, I'm hoping sooner than later for you!
Rachel...you're beautiful no matter what! I hope for your sake Isaac decides to come soon, but hopefully you can keep yourself comfortable in the mean time. Sorry Eric's "prediction" didn't come true!
Beautiful toes and feet!!! Are you taking advantage of the loving husband foot rubs?
Yep I'd say there's not much room left in that tummy of yours. I echo the others and hope that Isaac will decide to come early for you. And yes, cute toes!! Get lots of rest and keep those beautiful feet up! Love you!
Ah yes, my pretty toenails are my one remaining vanity! :)
