Gracie is still doing great. She has leveled off on her weight gain, now at a little over 6 pounds, and is measuring right on track with her due date in all areas of growth. She is still head down, which mommy appreciates, but still needs to drop before she is ready to come. (As I type, she is poking me way up in my ribs!)
Now I have to ignore all the contractions that I have been having for the last three months, and be on the look out for the painful, take-your-breath-away type that come every 5-7 minutes, which means I am in labor. I can't believe we are almost there!
My only instructions from Dr. B this week are to "go back to being normal". Normal? I have been caught in this paranoid, neurotic state for the last eight months, I don't think I know what that is anymore. It is hard to shift mindsets from doing everything I can to keep our sweet girl from coming early, to really understanding that it is okay if she comes now. But for the sake of those around me, I am going to try!
And the first thing I am doing is going shopping! What could be more normal than that?

Whoo hoo! I think you need another vacation once Gracie makes her appearance :) Have fun shopping and waiting to meet your sweet girl.
Enjoy your "normal" life before Gracie arrives - I can't wait until she makes her appearance:-)
