Walking Does Not Work!

Both Saturday and Sunday were pretty painful for me. I was contracting for most of those two days - without a steady rhythm to the contractions. We went grocery shopping which just brough on more pain and then we decided to go to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday and I was in a lot of pain there too. Whoever said that walking helps to induce labor was not entirely correct. It helps to bring on contractions but not labor itself. I am still contracting from time to time but nothing is ever really consistent. I have already been through a week of this pain, and now I have to go through another 8 days of it before I reach my due date. I hope the contractions become steady SOON!
We had some 35mm film that was not being used so we decided to put it into two of our old cameras to see how the pictures turned out and here they are. To buy the roll and develope it, it cost us $15. I was floored! Thank You Lord for Digital Cameras!

Know that I am not calling you fat, but that is one big baby belly. No wonder you are so uncomfortable. I know how those contractions can be, I had them for a long time with my second child. It was frustrating but even though they aren't bringing on labour yet, they are doing a little something to get you ready. Good luck. Hope it happens soon for you!

Just remember that each contraction you get, brings you that much closer to delivering that baby!! Those contractions you have been having, just may have been changing your cervix!! That's what counts!!! It may not be steady labor yet, but it sure is helping bring that baby down with each one! Just keep that in mind. I know your frustrated!!! It'll be really soon :) *BIG HUGS*
And by the way you look amazing!! I keep telling you that pregnancy looks great on you, and you look better with each picture! Just beautiful!!! I hope its all over really soon ;)

Lots of love!!

You both look so great. Maya looks like Jeremy's mom, I think. You look fabulous. Just think, at the most, only 2 more weeks. After 40 of them 2 doesn't seem toooo bad

I never had those contractions that lingered like that with my second. Must be frustrating, cause you're never sure if it WILL turn into the real thing. Hopefully it means a short labour when the day comes!!
Nothing better than going to a pumpkin patch in October!!
