Still pregnant............the good news is, he is safe and warm and happy in there. The hard part is that Chad and I and all of Dutch's soon to be family and friends are so ready to meet him! Not to mention I am really ready to not be pregnant anymore. My belly is so freakin big, it is really frusterating to move around and carry this boy in my belly! My friend Kelly picked up one of my 8 lb. weights and said, "Casey-this is in your tummy." I lifted up the weight and realized how hard core 8 lbs. is! I have done it all. Acupuncture to induce labor, pineapple, black licorice, "frolicking" with my husband, walking stairs, walking hills, moving into a new home! This boy is not ready- I guess. We are thankful that we were able to move into our new place before Dutch's arrival. We are pretty much all settled in which is amazing. We love it so much and we are so so so lucky to have such awesome friends. We had Casey Myers, Grant, Sandra, Cortney, Kelly, Kellie, and Cody. We could not have done it without all of those awesome peeps.
I think the hardest part about the last few weeks of pregnancy is thinking it would be like in books and movies. Your due date comes, your water breaks, you wake up your husband and he is so happy and nervous. He drives like a maniac to the hospital and out comes your beautiful baby. I guess its not always like that. Pregnancies really can go to 42 weeks and the water might never break. We might have to induce labor and we are scheduled to do so on Tuesday. We need to call the hospital and see when we can come in that day to get things started. Our midwife said there is a chance it can get bumped to Wednesday if they are a full house. I still have hope that he will come out on his own before then. That hope goes away a bit each day when I wake up still pregnant.

I know we will meet him soon enough. We love him so much and just want to bring him into the world. After more than 10 months of imagining what it will be like, we want to hug and kiss and hold him!
Time for me to go get a decaf americano and try to walk Vader.
