Just a quick update!

Well, Monday we had another appointment and everything is on schedule still with the baby. She was going to strip my membranes in hopes to make sure this baby would come out on time but my cervix is too far back she couldn't. I was a little disappointed  but I know she will come when she is ready. She also gave us a little bit of a scare Monday because her heart rate was really high. Dr Elsbury sent us over to the hospital for the rest of the afternoon to have her monitored for a while. Eventually after drinking a lot of water we got her to settle down and we came home. I have been have lots of contractions just not any that are strong enough to really do much, so Darren and I decided we are going for some long walks this week to see if we can help out a little. This was really the only home remedy we found sounded safe...there are some crazy people with some crazy ideas out there. We are down to 8 days but Im to the point I just want to get it over with....this waddling has got to stop!

Oh Tessa... you are so close!!! I know you will do great with the delivery too. You are such a tough girl! I am glad that the Monday scare turned out to be nothing serious. Good luck with everything and as always, please please let us know if we can ever help with anything!
