37 weeks.... well maybe




Hello all!

Ok... this week (August 20-27th) we thought we were turning 37 weeks but after a visit to the OB on Monday she says we are 36 (remember a while back two docs has two different dates.... a week apart. However, since I am already 30-40% effaced and my cervix is thinning I am thinking "Olive" will be closer to the 10th (original due date) than the 17th (other due date tossed our way). So bottom line is she is growing - YEAH, I am growing - lucky me, and we are ready as our nursery is set and our bags are somewhat packed! We have all the natural birth knowledge we can find, are done with our birth classes, infant car seat is installed, we have picked a pediatrician and just have one more meeting with our doula. PHEW!!! Emma finishes her yoga and personal training privates as well as yoga class at SBAC (Santa Barbara Athletic Club) the first week of September and then from there will just teach prenatal yoga and teach online for SBCC til "Olive" arrives.

The belly abides!

We are truly blessed.

Love and namaste,

Emma, Kevin, "Olive" and Astro

P.S. You will notice in this weeks pic's Astro is wearing a cone... he had a little accident on Tuesday..... all is fine now... just was playing with another dog and ended up with an inch long laceration that needed stiches. Bummer, we know but the main thing he is doing much better and will be well for the arrival of our little girl! :)

Sounds like you are ready! I'll be praying that little Olive's arrival is safe and smooth. Enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy :) I kind of miss that feeling of just being two of us together.
Love,
