38 weeks!

38 weeks today and her arrival seems very near! Here's my post for Eli at 38 weeks. Not much to report since last week's doc appointment, other than continued increased Braxton Hicks contractions. I start to drink Red Raspberry Leaf tea tomorrow so there may be more contractions on the way! I'll start diluted and see how I feel and then increase. Giving my uterus a work out before the big day!! I see the chiropractor tomorrow, which is always a good thing, and this week's doc appointment is on Thursday.

Today was my last day to go into the office and my work load will be very light this week (checking emails/voice mails). Then Monday, I transition my supervisor back for about 1-2 hours...then I'm officially on leave! I found out today about another possible part-time option for when I return, so that is great. Options are always good!

It continues to be cool & rainy around here & I see little hope of the temps being what I want before she arrives....oh well, what can you do.

Thought I'd post another belly parade so enjoy!!:

Fun 38 week fact: Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.) (babycenter.com)
