So we decided not to get the henna art done on my belly due to the expense. Therefore, Chris got the chance to play with his artistic skills. I was impressed! I like how the eye and mouth of the moon fit with the face of the sun. I practiced my patience and relaxation skills while he worked away at tickling my belly with the paint brush. Even funnier that the baby would not sit still for him. He had to paint with her moving back and forth across my belly. He kept telling her to stop, but she didn't listen.
We had another Dr's appointment on Thursday (6/8/06) and nothing had changed. Needless to say, we were a little disappointed. We were hoping for further progress with the possibility of labor occurring sooner than later. But they (the Dr's) say anything can happen anytime and there's no need to worry about what's going on for now. We scheduled an induction date for June 21, which would be 9 days after my due date. The Dr doesn't think I'll carry to this date, but it's good to go ahead and schedule just in case.
I've been having more frequent and stronger Braxton-hicks contractions and my hips have been aching and popping out of socket when I walk or go upstairs. These are good enough signs to let me know my body is gearing up. I make sure to go on a walk every day to keep in shape and help anything progress if it's happening (walking brings on stronger contractions).
Both of our families are coming up tomorrow. We are ecstatic that they can make it up! We plan to celebrate life and have a good time while they're here. We're hoping they can make a trip to Rocky Mtn Ntl Park and visit the mountains. You can't go to Colorado and not go see the mountains!
Gotta go for now. We'll keep you posted.
