Due Date Today

Today is my due date! The day is just about over and still no baby! I've been walking, working in the yard, gorging myself on italian spices, and every other trick/myth about how to induce labor. I am ready for Julie to arrive, but she needs to decide for herself that its time to enter the world!

She must be getting ready because I have had a couple moments where I thought I might almost be going into labor, but the contractions then slowed down and eventualy stopped!

Now that my due date is here the birth is for sure very soon....but how soon?
I feel like my life is on hold.....waiting...waiting....waiting...

Dear Sweet Sony Cybershot,

Here I am 3 days away from my due date and you choose this moment to leave me! I promise I planned on using you a whole lot more very soon. I was saving your energy for the MANY picture perfect moments that will inevitably come with a new baby.
I am devastated you are gone. Julie would have loved you. If you get this message, please come back to me! I loved you!

Yours Truly,

Soon-to-be-mother-of-two-who-loves-taking-pictures-especially-of-newborns


I went to the pool and couldn't resist getting some pics of Liz's first swim of the summer. Then, the next time I checked my bag there's no camera! The bag was in eyesight the whole time, but apparently I didn't keep my eyes ON the bag the whole time. :(
