40 Weeks

Wow, how anticlimactic! Your whole pregnancy you focus on your due date....your due date...due date! Then, it just comes and goes! August 16th has been such a big date to us for the last 9+ months and now its gone and still, no baby.

Here I am at my 39 week appointment. They hooked me up to a fetal heart monitor and a contraction monitor. Baby's heartbeat was strong, beautiful and perfect. The contraction monitor detected zip!


We went to Gruene for lunch on Saturday with my dad. It was a beautiful day and we were able to snap a few pics...



















Here's a picture of me and Nathan on our due date going out for dinner and a movie. Everyone keeps telling us to do that....to go to a nice dinner and to see a movie in the theater. So, that's what we've been doing....
Actually, I guess its a good thing that I'm late. I was able to attend a luncheon for our awesome interns today. I went to work for a few hours and got some much needed preparations done. Nathan was even able to do a project on his "to do" list! He's been wanting to make a mold of my belly and tonight we did just that. It was a fun experience. We went to Michael's today to pick up the casting cloth that is pre-treated with the plaster. You just cut the cloth into strips and dip them into water and then place on whatever you want to make a mold of.

You're thinking...."Kinky". Well, maybe a little but it was still awesome! The mold looks great! He did a great job of capturing my pregnant belly. Here are some cute belly molds we saw on line. We're still thinking about how we want to decorate ours.
