Nesting. . .

...In the garden?

A few weeks ago I got a HUGE burst of energy and all I wanted to do was dig in the dirt! Here is my dirty belly after a lot of work:


Almost 33 Weeks


Our Lovely Porch and Flower Garden


Speaking of belly shots. . . I realized it's been awhile! So, I asked Brian to take one of me after dinner. He's turning into a regular photographer! Notice how he made sure to include my HUGE stack of laundry (which I still need to fold, by the way!)


36 Weeks Today!


Speaking of 36 weeks. . . Let's have a contest! We want to see if you can guess when our baby will be born. The person closest to the date will win a prize! Here's a little info to help you with your guess. I'm 36 weeks now which puts my due date as the 27th. Brian was born at 38 weeks and Ellie was between 36 and 37 weeks. I haven't had any labor pains yet, but have had A LOT of Braxton Hix and am 2cm dilated. But we all know that doesn't mean I'm going into labor any time soon. . . or does it??

Let the challenge begin! Submit your guesses soon before it's too late!!

I'm so jealous. I went into my 38 wk checkup a couple days ago and found that I'm not dilated at all. Grrr!!!

Im going to be optimistic...July 9th...then Troy has all weekend with you, although I am sure he will take time off too. You're so cute pregnant! Love it!

I am going to guess July 7th - just because I like the 7/7. My birthday is 3/3 and I love not having to think about whether or not they want the month or the day first when I fill out forms. (By the way - this is also Holly's birthday.)

I think your just getting baby envy since I just had mine and Danae's is going to be on Saturday. I'm going to go for the 13th of July. Good luck:)

Holly said...

Lesli Joe, I love your thinking. Heather, if you can't do 7/7 than maybe hold out for 8/8 ;)

I won't really guess that, though. And since Lesli has taken one of the best dates to guess already, we'll go with 7/11. Make sure to get your free slurpee from 7 Eleven on your way to the hospital!

I'm guessing July 5th. I'm sure you'll be exhausted from all this weekend's festivities and go into labor on that Monday. Good luck!

I'm going to change my vote to today the 3rd because I've got a feeling. ;)
