It came...

AND WENT! Friday, September 25th was a beautiful day. Unfortunately it was just like any other day. Got up, went to work, came home, blah, blah, blah. Our little girl is taking her sweet time to join us, but there is an end in sight. No matter what I will be induced on Friday. Austin is hoping for sooner than that so she'll have a September birthday.

I did have a meltdown Friday morning before going to work, but I survived the day. I made Austin take me out so we wouldn't have to stay at home and dwell on the uneventful evening. We went to Chili's for dinner and then to a movie. We saw the new Bruce Willis movie Surrogates. It was entertaining and did the trick to take my mind off not being in labor. When we got up to go from the movie, my ankles were so big I could barely make it down the stairs. It hurt so bad to walk.

I had major cankles. Compared to Austin's nicely sculpted ankles, mine are huge!

My ankles didn't go down all weekend. After church today, I was propping them up and guess what I saw? STRETCH MARKS! Can you believe it?! I can't. Of all the places to get them, especially during pregnancy! The things we women go through to bring life into the world. It's a good thing it'll all be worth it!
