: Well, it's Tuesday the 19th and this last week has been pretty horrible. We had to put my doggy to sleep last Wednesday unexpectedly and I've been so emotional ever since. I know that many of you have been aware of the ongoing problems with her and it finally came to the end. She was just about 16 years old so it was so difficult to look into her eyes until the very end.
: Anyway, I have just 2 and 1/2 weeks to go!
: 8/19-8/25, 8/26-9/2, and then just 4 days after that is my due date. I can't believe I'm so close to the end! Since I've had all the pre-term labor problems and have been hospitalized and shot up with Brethine, it's been a strange end of the pregnancy. My contractions have been getting closer and closer together often about 5 minutes, but if they aren't below 5 minutes consistently for 2 hours then I have nothing to worry about. I don't want to be one of those women who show up at the hospital too early--I'm gonna try to wait it out.
: My doc took me off the meds today and it's been rough. DH just knows I'll go into labor this week, but I'm still holding out for after September 1st (I've really, really wanted a September baby). But either way, our baby is a big one. My doc says I'm 50% effaced and she currently weighs 7 1/2 lbs. So he really wants me to go into labor by week 39, if at all possible. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS! YIKES! We are so so excited.
: I'm sorry I haven't been on much and I've been terrible about answering my e-mails. I love you all and appreciate your e-mails and words of encouragment. You are so sweet to keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
: I've been updating my baby's website. Although it has more to go, you may visit us at the link below.
: Blessings to all!

: P.S. LISA R. I read your post below. WOW! You're 36 weeks already--I think I knew that. EDD 9-13, right? Anyway, yes, emotions are running very high here, too. Don't stress it. It's not good for your bp. Keep us posted!
