Here are the pictures it let me post them, go figure. The explanation of the pictures is in the post below!! Love you all!!

Still no baby

Well we still don't have a baby in the outside world yet but I do have some new photos to share with you. Josiah is very sick in these photos and I was starting to get sick so we don't look the greatest but Maureen came over and took them and I just love them!! I hope you enjoy and we will keep you all posted. Keep Josiah in your prayers that he makes a quick recovery so he is healthy when the wee one decides to join us. Love you all!! Blogger isn't letting me post pics for some reason, I will post them when it allows me to. Also went to the Dr. today, baby has descended more and we are getting closer. I hope we have the baby this weekend because my midwife is on call. Everyone send all your energy to the baby this weekend so he/she decides to come into the world.

My Blessing Way

I spoke about my Blessing Way in the post under this one but I wanted to post some pictures. My friend Maureen took these and I hate to say that I don't have a picture with her and myself. The first picture is with Maureen's adorable daughter Tulsi. She is 7 months and I have been blessed to be a part of her life! She is one of the most beautiful, intelligent babies I have ever meet!! The second and third picture are from the actual event. As you can tell in the second photo I cried a lot that day so my nose is all red!! It was a great day. Thank you again to Maureen for organizing it and letting us use your apartment, I love you!!!

OH BOY Week 39!!

We are now at week 39!! The first picture is from week 39 the second picture is from week 38. The baby has dropped even more. The third picture is from my Blessing Way that my friend Maureen threw for me. The flowers with the candles is from a long time resident here named Silvia who had to move out of the country before the blessing way but wanted us to feel her spirit. I think they are beautiful and they now are in my house. A Blessing Way celebration for anyone that does not know is a gathering of women that are gathering to support the expecting mother and process of birth and giving a new life. It also honors women in general and how fabulous we are as women. It was started by the native Americans and if you ever have a chance to attend one or someone wants to throw you one take them up on it. It was one of the best experiences of my life. The women that came were all warm and loving and really inspiring. Their strength will go with me through the birth and the raising of my child.
I had my check up with the Dr. that now happens every week. This week my blood pressure came back a little high, but I am fortunate to have a wonderful Dr. and friend that lives on campus here who will help monitor my blood pressure and keep an eye on things. We would like to prevent induction so we will do everything in our power to get the blood pressure down. I have faith that my body will take care of it's self with a little bit of help and relaxation. I can tell you that Josiah and I are so excited and we can't believe we could be parents any day now!! We are taking a call list with us to the hospital so you should all here from us when it happens. I hope we don't forget anyone!!

Week 37, Three more to go!!

Week 37 is here!!! My baby is now considered full term and I could go into labor any day now. I won't because it is my first baby but if I did the baby would be fine!
Josiah and I went to the Dr. Today. The fun begins as now I have to go every week until I go into labor. She checked my cervix and I am not dilated but she did feel the baby's head!! I thought that was the coolest thing in the world.
I am starting to feel the baby dropping and if it is possible getting a little more uncomfortable. Sleeping is ruff so I find myself extremely tired through out the day.
Maureen showed me how to create videos using this program on my computer so I put one together of all my pregnancy pictures and most of you should have received that in an email format. I will have tons of fun with the program once the baby arrives!
The pictures above were taken by my friend Maureen on the property of the Himalayan Instititue were we live. The second one is on a hill we call it the Sound of Music Hill, that one is for my Dad as he loves that hill. Maureen and I took over 80 pictures yesterday and I would recommend to all expecting mom's to take some fun pics when you get nice and big! They are going to make a wonderful keepsake. Thank you to Maureen for taking time and pushing me to do it, I really love them!
Hope you are all well and I will keep everyone posted!
