I guess it is pretty safe to assume that I am not going to gain 80 pounds during this pregnancy...so I am going to recklessly indulge in my Mom's Christmas goodies (well as much as my stomach allows, that is). Baby girl is done developing and is just adding body fat at this point...the cookies and fudge and yummies should help with that! Maybe I won't even LOSE weight this week??!??!

My contractions are getting more regular and I had a couple last night that were a little more intense than they have been. All good signs but I am nowhere near active labor at this point. The midwives call it pre-labor, some other people call it false labor. But I like it...means the body is getting ready to evict my little troublemaker!

I'm trying to think of a way to let you all know when I have the baby, if it is after my account expiration date. I know I hate being cut off from baby news (thanks for that one, Jennie ). We'll see what I can dream up.
