The End of the Pregnancy...Two months ago

37 weeks
38 weeks
39 weeks


Me and the kiddos
My view. Spilled on myself often.
Thanksgiving Day.  40 weeks.The contractions started.
We planned on traveling to my parents house for a second Thanksgiving meal and staying the night. However, after talking to the online nurse and noticing that my contractions were getting closer together (but still not a big deal) we decided to just eat and run.
And no, that's not blush. I was beautifully and naturally rosey while pregnant. ;)
Timing the contractions at my parents house. The Thanksgiving meal was so delicious and we hated to leave that night, especially since we wouldn't get any leftovers! But throughout my pregnancy, I only hoped to get through Thanksgiving and I did. Now it's show time.
I was nervous about the contractions. This was a first! When will they get closer together? When will they get stronger? I was up all night timing them. Friday was spent getting ready to leave. I did last minute laundry and made sure I had everything I needed.
Me and my big belly took a relaxing bath that night. The contractions were getting closer and stronger and the warm bath helped. I was sure I was going to go to the hospital soon.
