No sign of the little tyke, but I'm not too surprised. After all, D day isn't until Wednesday. But I AM totally ready to have the baby now, as Martin and I did my belly cast last night. I'm sitting and looking at it now, and MAN is it impressive. It really is amazing how a woman's body can stretch to accommodate a growing fetus. Amazing and scary. I have to trim the edges of the cast, and then I'm going to compare Newbie and Dylan's casts. I think I may be slightly bigger now than I was with Dylan. It just didn't catch me up until the last two weeks.
I also have my 39 week belly pics to post, but I'm waiting for two reasons. The first is that we are going to Caitlin and Esaias's birthday party tonight and I wanted to post pictures from that. The second is that I have actually gotten some stretch marks this time, and I'm not too keen to show those off. I thought I'd be ok since I only got some tiny white ones last time and those didn't appear until AFTER my due date. These ones still aren't that bad, but they're certainly not pretty. Oh well--I know that they'll eventually fade and be less noticeable. And they're worth it to have a beautiful new baby.
Dylan had a cranky day yesterday--I think he's getting some more teeth. Once his back bottom teeth are in, we should be set until he starts losing them for permanent teeth. I'm looking forward to that. It's so hard when he is in a bad mood, simply because it is so rare. I am used to having a happy, sunny little man and struggle when he whines all day (though I still love him to bits).
At any rate, we've had a good day today. We drove in to Scunthorpe first thing this morning for the Primary activity. I intended to go in early and do some shopping, but alas, it wasn't to be. I'm next to useless at the activities what with chasing Dylan all over the place in my heavily pregnant state, but i go anyway as a show of moral support to the presidency. Dylan ran around like a mad man and had his lunch and loads of fruit while we were there. He fell asleep on the drive home, but obligingly stayed asleep when we got home. This meant that I also got a nap. It's only half an hour until the birthday party, and that should be good fun as well. It's a disco, and Dylan loves to dance. Christine was going to come over for a visit, but we've not been home enough for her to come over. We're at her house for dinner tomorrow anyway, so she'll get her fill of Dylan then.
I actually need to bake some brownies for the party, so I must dash. But I promise the pictures are coming soon. I'll overcome my shame about the stretch marks and suck it up and get it done. And I will keep everyone posted on the upcoming birth. Hopefully I will go into labor this weekend. Maybe getting my groove on at the disco will do the trick?
