Come on baby!!!

Well, my prediction was that I will go into labor today but Reagan won't be born until tomorrow. I am actually typing this post on the 8th so we shall see what happens. As of today (the 8th) I am once again having tons of bad cramps and lots of contractions. And once again I feel a lot of pressure down low; all of this is nothing new but it sure feels like labor could start soon. I am getting really anxious to have Craig home for a few weeks. He actually has more PTO then he thought, 3 weeks instead of 2. If the baby comes in the next few days he may not being going back to Legacy at all! This is a possibility even if she does not come since we are closing in on 3 weeks until he starts with Exelixis; we shall see.

Katya has been having a blast with Grandma Sharon. She says "grandma" all day long, just in case I forgot that she is here. It is very exciting to her. Sharon has spend a lot of time with Katya outdoors, especially early in the week when the weather was so nice. Katya LOVES this! She is so excited when she comes back in and tells me about "walk" and "out" with a big smile and wide eyes. I have gone on several walks too. I am also spending a lot of time stretching and on my hands and knees (with my exercise ball for support) to encourage baby to drop and rotate.

It has been VERY helpful to have Sharon here this week. She is pretty much completely in charge of Katya although I do help out some:0) It sure has taken the pressure off of me and I really appreciate it. Now this baby needs to come so Doug and Sharon can meet her! Doug will come back Friday night and they both have to drive home on Sunday so they are really routing for Reagan to get here soon.

I am scheduling this post for tomorrow morning (the 9th) and who knows, maybe I will be in labor already!

Just took a walk with Brenda Vanhorn and got an update from her time there yesterday. Sounds like a good thing that you have a little help right now. Hang in there.

**BTW, I got the gift in the mail today. WOW, you are 9+ months prego and you still managed to have to to go out of your way like that. SO THOUGHTFUL! Jack will love the outfits and probably will be big enough to fit in them soon.
