I cannot wait to hold it over my girls' heads some day that I was essentially in early labor with them for WEEKS. Last night, I ugly cried for a while because I seriously don't know how many more days of contractions and pain I can handle. Angela from 9 months ago would have loved to have found a way to jump into the future and bitch slap present me. Oh well, evidently I suck at making babies, but I am truly amazing at baking them. I'm probably the one multiple mom on the planet who would probably make it past my due date if it weren't for an induction.
But, enough of that. At this point, I'm sure I'll be posting a 37 week update, so we'll probably be revisiting this in just a few more days.
In crazier news, we had our first snow this weekend. SNOW. In OCTOBER! The ground wasn't cold enough for it to start accumulating until right at the end, and then it all melted pretty quickly, but since then it has been freeeeeezing cold outside. I'm pretty sad that we only got about a month of fall before winter started weaseling its way in, but I must admit that the snow was really beautiful from inside.
So, I lit my pine scented candle and turned on my Christmas music. If I have to put up with winter coming two months early, I'm going to at least start enjoying the only parts of winter I actually enjoy!
I'll be thinking baby-debut thoughts for you from back here in the States!

Angela,
You'll forget all about it in a few years and want to do it again.... ;)

Oh! I love snow :) and pine candles and christmas music. Oct-Dec is my fav time of year! We don't get any where we're at now and it's just not the same. Enjoy it a bit for me :)

We routinely have snow here in Colorado Springs early-mid October but then fall makes an appearance again and it doesn't matter because it never sticks to the roads.
Hang in there lady! Did you happen to get my package yet?

Looks frosty out there! What did the dogs think of all that? They look engrossed out there.

You look so pretty! And I know you're ready for them to make their arrival already, but I am glad that you haven't had any trouble towards the end of your pregnancy. You rock! Hugs!

Come on girls!! I can only imagine how frustrating this must be for you- I was sooo glad my waters broke first, so I knew it was go time when contractions started!

It must be so tough to keep baking them when you are actually having contractions. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your beautiful babies come soon!

Snow!! I can't even imagine the discomfort you must be feeling, but snow!!
