I'm 37 weeks, I've gained close to 35lbs, I'm addicted to chewing ice, (pretty sure I annoy everyone around me when I chew it), and my stomach looks like a road map:) But really everything is going well, except for the fact that my blood platelets keep dropping. Which isn't anything to worry about in my case except for the fact that if they drop below 100 I cant have an epidural if I wanted one. I was a 109 two weeks ago and 115 two weeks before that. And I just got them checked again today so with the way my platelets are progressing I'm going to be cutting it pretty close. Before I even found out about my platelet count, I had been talking to my mid-wife about having a natural birth, which is something I've been wanting to do as long as I can remember. So there really shouldn't be a problem right? Well I don't do very well when I cant make decisions for myself and someone tells me, "its going to be this way and no other way", that's when I start to freak out. Pretty much I don't like being told what to do:) I'm kind of a brat that way. Anyway, I would probably even handle this all a lot better if it was last minute and I was in labor and then they told me I cant have an epidural. But now I get to think and ponder about it and get all worked up.
Anyway, I know all will be well. My mid-wife is AMAZING and she says not to worry.
At my check up today, I was maybe 1/2 centimeter dilated, which is nothing. But next week she is going to strip my membranes so hopefully that will speed things up. I really really don't want to go over my due date. So I'm hoping, fingers crossed, this baby girly comes a week early or just before her due date.

Josh's last day of school for the semester.
Enjoying a beautiful Sunday and our beautiful tulips
I bought this bike and helmet at a yard sale last summer. $10 for the bike and $1 for the helmet. Best purchase EVER! We gave it to her for her birthday this year. She LOVES it and is doing such a great job! She just needs a little work on steering. But she is already getting better at that.
First time on the bike, she loves that she can take her Hello Kitty along for the ride.
She couldn't stop laughing. Pure joy!
And of course I have to post pictures of our car window. We got it all fixed up now but it was a pretty sat sight to see.
