I've been having mild contractions, not very consistent, but having them nonetheless. Her heart rate was 160 and I weigh 140.5 lbs. I about peed on myself when I saw the scale. For some reason I thought at my last appointment I only weighed 132, so I freaked when I thought I had gained 8 lbs in two weeks. I was wrong I weighed 137 last time. I couldn't help but think "damn, the snickers bar that I ate before hand really went straight to my butt".
We had to have the strep B test done today, did the measurement, and then talked about delivery positions and such. I brought a rough draft of a birth plan, just to make sure that the Dr and us were on the same page and we are, thankfully. The things I want to avoid are things that he wants to avoid too, such as induction, c-sections, constant monitoring, flat back delivery, etc. etc. so it was a relief to hear. I never felt like I had a lot of options the last three times I gave birth, so I feel less nervous about going into labor.
I think my nesting is finally starting to wind down. I ordered the last few things that we need for her over the weekend and should be getting them delivered this week sometime. Michael on the other hand, has had his nesting phase kick into high gear. He's been working his butt off trying to get things done around his house and mine. I've been giving him grief about it, of course. Have to get him back for all the crap he's been giving me the last few months about feeling like I'm running out of time.
Vanessa, I did get the box you sent. Actually, it was sitting in my mailbox for a couple of days because I kept forgetting to get the mail. I emailed a thank you and I have an actual "card" that I am sending too. There will be mail for Jack too, when I get my chunky butt in gear and mail it. Will do that tomorrow. Cross my heart.
K, gotta go feed the girl and myself before I take her to dance.

Dear Sis,
I wish you the same rapid birth too like I had. I hope you can deliver at the delivery stool too, since that is way easier than lying flat on the back.
Any days now...
I can't hardly wait to meet my US niece on the net.
thinking about you
Hugs and you can do this!

Oh, that belly is getting REALLY low. Birthing baby's today seems so much easier than it did back in the day. Make sure you hold her in just a bit longer, I'm not ready for her yet....LOL! Trying to finish up a few things, then she can come out.
Hey girl.. sorry I haven't been around.. but as you can see from my blog I am always off the chain with some kind of project these days!
LOL @ 140lbs.. Try topping out at 202 lbs.. the last one was a weight gain of 60 some pounds! I felt like the fricken Hindenburg!
hehehehe @ nesting.. yes I am nesting too for our baby. But I didn't have to birth this one! LOL And she'll sleep in a cage not a crib...oohh.. maybe I should have did that with my kids?! LOL
I'll try to be around more girl!
