After reaching 70% effacement, and dilation to a 2, I quit having contractions.
I was hoping Tyson's sister would want to follow in her big brother's footsteps and come last night, but she did not...
I can't put on my compression hose anymore, and I fear I will be left with a (let's hope it's just "a") HUGE varicose vein. (Although now that I think about it, maybe putting on the compression hose would help with sadness #1 & #2).
I am getting anxious, and worried about something [bad] happening just before I get to meet HER. I know that is probably normal... once you know the baby is "done" you just want him/her to come out!
Greg's yearly dental/LV (that's for you Jason) buddy motorcycle reunion is this weekend in Moab (3 hrs away). I REALLY hope I go into labor BEFORE the trip so he can be here, but I fear the only way to go into labor is to send him off to have a fun 2 1/2 day trip. He leaves on Wednesday night and returns Saturday... I believe I will have the baby sometime on Friday. :P
I feel like I am going to pop... and look like it too. (See for yourself--last picture (I HOPE) until the final hospital shot, of me at 37.5 weeks).
I am feeling HAPPY, because...
I have had a very mild, comfortable pregnancy.
I only have 13 days (at the most) left, although I am optimistic that my little girlie will arrive early.
I am having a "spring baby" so no winter worries (as long as the snow doesn't return).
ALL of my sisters will be here for a major ESTROGEN FEST in the delivery room if Greg is gone this weekend and the baby decides to come.
We are having a GIRL! I was hoping for a boy at first, but I have definitely warmed up to the idea of a princess (and I hate that word... but what else do you call her??) And, after shopping for bows and bracelets on Saturday, and buying my first skirt/legging combo yesterday, I am feeling like I just want to love her and dress her up!
So think of me on Friday, March 20th (happy birthday Heidi), that's my prediction for the day our 6 Lb. 4 oz. baby girl will enter the world (another prediction for her weight...did you catch that?)

OH Noel... if only our babies came when we wanted them to. That would be a FABULOUS birthday present to share the same birthday with your little girlie (not a fan of princess either, but what else DO you call her?).
I am hoping for Friday too! But at the same time, how are you letting your husband leave? I wouldnt. You are a better wife than I. I will keep you in my thoughts.
And NO you are not huge. Thats what I look like at 28 weeks now.
Lookin good momma!
Noel, you look great. If you think you are big, then I was a COW!!! I know the last month is hard. If I could go backwards, I would not wish Ivy to come early. I fear I may have jinxed her.You are a saint.I am so glad Shane was here. He too was thinking about a business trip and put it off. I am so glad he did because I was not prepared for what lied ahead. I needed his strength. i would have been a mess each night if he didn't sleep over with me. Of course, I don't wish my situation on you and I am sure your sisters are wonderful. But there is sometging more comforting about your husband being there. We will keep you in our thoughts. I wish you nothing but an easy delivery and speedy recovery. Enjoy your little princess. Shane calls the girls: monkey 1, monkey 2 and monkey 3.Now we call Ivy strawbeery or goldilocks cause of her light hair and blond eyelashes. So don't feel the pressure of the priness thing.
I would kick Eric's butt if he even thouht about going out of town!!! You are brave and we know you will be able to get through it after all you do all the work. LOL We will be thinking about you and the little miracle princess!
Oh you look SO CUTE! I hope she comes soon, I know you must be SO READY! You look great! I can't wait to see pics of little baby girl Trapnell! What are you guys naming her again?
