Hurray! We're done with work for a long weekend. And I got to leave early, which was awesome.
Tonight Ben and I went to play Hand and Foot with his grandparents. We did really, really well the first hand but decided they must have just been being nice to us. By the last hand, we were way behind.

Wednesday: conversation
Amanda: I feel like I've been having little contractions all night.
Ben: do they hurt?
Amanda: no.(sigh)
Ben: (laughs) this is the only time that we want pain.

Tuesday: 38 weeks
Today was a doctor's appointment! They're fun.
I'm dilated to 2, 70% effaced, and the head is "very low". Progress!
Due to various things though, it would be nice if he would wait to start contractions until noon on Saturday. Or do it tonight. But I'd like to be out of the hospital Friday and Saturday. It probably means that's when he'll come.

Monday: dropped
Apparently the baby dropped a lot over the weekend. "Everyone" at work mentioned it when they saw me today.
It also meant that I had to go to the bathroom any time I walked for more than 50 feet.

Sunday: Christmas
Today was Christmas with one of Ben's extended families. We brought banana pudding. Below is a picture of it being made to make Dusty jealous. We had a lot left over, so if any one wants some, come on by. I'd also like to say that I have an awesome husband who got some puzzles in the gift exchange because I wanted them.
Flurry is also enjoying hanging out under the Christmas tree. Her white fur does make her seem like the perfect accessory for the tree.

Saturday: pep talk
Jess asked what I'm telling Baby to convince him to come out...
*It will be more fun to be out.
*You can see Dad (and other relatives)
*Christmas is a fun time...you don't want to miss it.
*There's more room to move.
*You have a name
*We have everything that you'll need for the first little bit...and most of it is set up.
*It works with scheduling better if you come sooner.
What I'm not telling him...
*It will be cold
*it's hard work to communicate
*Going through the birth canal is traumatic.

Friday: It's time!
It's time to meet the muppets! (Did I trick anyone? Please?). Ben and I went to see the Muppet Movie. It was good. A bit more singing than I expected, but a ton of cameos.
