It's 3 days past Jane's due date but I feel great. I am having contractions, of course, but nothing consistent or hard core. Just enough to hopefully be dilating and effacing my cervix as much as possible so when I do go into labor a lot of the work has already been done. I'd much rather it be that way anyways, I'll take slow painless labor over long painful labor any day.
Folks have come to the conclusion that predicting Jane's arrival on a daily basis is not working and have decided to be patient instead.
Nathan and I are taking lots of walks and enjoying the cold weather that's blown in. I actually wore a jacket over my sweatshirt on our walk last night, which says a lot for Phoenix weather.
I haven't gained any weight in the last week or so. Jane is still gaining about an ounce a day on average. My belly really isn't going to change much either between now and her arrival. It's just a holding pattern of sorts.
Maybe Jane will come over the weekend and my Mother in Law won't have to take off any work. I'm sure she'd appreciate Jane's thoughtfulness if that's the case.
On another note Katherine is loving me being home full time. We're spending a lot of extra time with her and talking about the baby she's about to get. She's just starting to get interested in "drawing" and is saying new words every day. She's so amazing and Nathan and I frequently end our day in bed discussing what she did that day that made our hearts swell with love and pride.
We love her so much and hope she adjusts well to her baby sister. We expect some resistance and an adjustment period, but hopefully it'll be a smooth transition over all.
