I am still amazed to be pregnant at this point! But that is a good thing! Baby will continue to grow and put on some weight, and also develop the sucking reflex. So hopefully breastfeeding will go much easier this time. Since Ronnie was 4 weeks early, he was not interested in breastfeeding. So I pumped around the clock until he finally did it himself at 6 weeks old. So I do have my breastpump and supplies in case it happens again. And I am determined to make it work, so I will do what I have to do to make breastfeeding successful once again. But since this baby is going to be more mature than Ronnie was, it should be easier.Yesterday morning the Braxton-Hicks contractions have started to come on more frequently. They still are today. But nothing strong or regular yet. I also felt some pain/pressure on my rectum yesterday when I would walk around. But I am not feeling that so much today. Baby may be in a different position today, or not down as low at the moment. One of my midwives is coming here today for my prenatal visit. I will post about that sometime afterwards, either tonight or maybe tomorrow.
My neighbor Casey is throwing a diaper shower for me this Saturday, permitting I have not given birth this week. :) So I am looking forward to that. Now to see if baby waits that long or not!

You are positively glowing! I'm so happy for you, and continuye to pray for your birthing experience.
PRAISE GOD that you've made it to 38 weeks. I was thinking a lot last week about that phone call I got from you when your water broke with Ronnie and the disappointment in your voice that you couldn't birth at home... PRAYING FOR YOU!
I have been thinking about what Kim said too a lot lately.
I CANNOT believe you will be 39 weeks tomorrow!!! :-))))
