Here's the update. No change. I go back next Tuesday. Exciting stuff, huh? I knew nothing would be going on dramatically we still have two weeks untill the due date. I must say though I am getting pretty uncomfortable. In the mornings I am usually doing pretty well and can get up and down without complaining (moaning) but by night time it gets harder and harder to get up and down. Sleeping is getting worse and worse. I was up last night from 1:30 until 4. Not Fun. I did that last week too. This time though I got up and read from Jane Austen's Persuasion. Maybe I should do my scripture reading then.
I did get my bag packed and the carseat is ready (not installed but ready). What is something that you had or wished you had while at the hospital? I am trying not to bring too much extra but I have no clue really of what I NEED. I am asking for ideas ladies (and if there are any gentlemen out there that read this). What should Ben have?
So, on to the waiting game. As for the date on the Lay Out from a couple of days ago that was just a computer and user malfunction. Thanks for pointing it out though I need to change that. I will talk to you all later though.

Erin and Dave are Coming!!
So, for the past few months Erin has teased me a few times about coming out. She has said she would be here in July, then it was May, then it was not sure, but really want to. Finally, a photo class that she has been stalking opened up in LA and she paid for it so that means she is in CA and so she and Dave will be coming up to Fresno after the class. They'll be here in less than a month and she will have her photo stuff with her and we will be having a photo shoot with Katelynn. I am so freakin' excited. Ben and Dave will do whatever it is they do and Erin and I will be content with eachother.
I have my appt in a few hours and will update when I can. I will talk to you all later.

What's New
Why does it say 18 days on that ticker there? That is a little weird. Everything has been going well for the pregnancy. I haven't felt any braxton hicks or even real contractions. She feels like she is everywhere. Her butt likes to be on my upper right and her feet like to be on the left. Every once in a while she will stretch her foot and I will have a little bubble on my side that I can pinch. I can also push her foot back and forth in my belly. Ben still thinks that there is an Alien in me.
A guy Ben goes mountain biking with said to us on Wed and I think it is true too that guys really don't feel like a dad until they see the baby while the mom has maternal instincts usually the moment she finds out she is pregnant. There is a definite connection between me and Katelynn that I don't think Ben has just yet but will get when she sees her and holds her. That will be weird to be holding our baby and it is just days away.
I had an appt yesterday and I got checked out. he said that I was softening but no dilation. He also said that if anytime after 38 weeks I am dilating he would schedule and induction. So that is next week. I will see him on Tues and we will see how things are going. I don't think that I will want to induce until after the 10th so it things are happening next week I will schedule something after the 10th unless she decides that she wants to be here sooner. Who knows nothing might have changed from Thursday to Tuesday. The fun times of the waiting game.
Here is my pic from 36 weeks. I will probably do one more and then I should put together a panel to see the entire progression. I hope everyone is well. I will type at you all later.

This is worth blogging about!!!

Every year when spring comes I start watching and looking and waiting for STRAWBERRIES!! The thing is the strawberries in the store are not what I am looking for. Neither are the strawberries that are on the corner being sold in printed boxes. I am waiting for the ones that are in the shack type stands where the patch is right behind where you buy them, in the cardboard boxes with green baskets. Oh, those are the ones I am talking about. They are HUGE and SSSOOOO red and ripe. They are so delicious. And so when the strawberries come that means Home Made Strawberry Pie.
Here's what you need
1 Deep dish premade Pie Crust
4 baskets of strawberries (you probably will only 3 but the 4th is good for taste testing LOL)
1 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
4 tbsp Cornstarch
Cook pie crust according to package directions for a crisp crust 10-15 min then cool. While that is baking prepare strawberries. 1 cup mashed strawberries and then fill pie crust with bite size pieces just level. Cook mashed strawberries and water in small pot for 2 min. Mix cornstarch and sugar well add to pot. Mix and dissolve sugar. Continue mixing until it thickens to a jelly state. It will start turning darker and jelling around the pot. When it doesn't run pour over pie. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
My mom made this pie every summer while growing up and it is so yummy. Ben loves when he sees it in the refrigerator.
