How to get Daddy to shave

Juni kissed me four times on the cheek, rubbed my check with her hand and said "tommorow can you take the fur off your face?"

39 weeks pregnant

I'm 39 weeks pregnant with baby boy, "Joey". I went to OB/GYN today and was told my cervix is dilated 1 cm and 80% effaced. Which could mean nothing, or could mean I will go into labor any day now. I have my first NST (non-stress test) scheduled for next week. That is where they look at the baby's heart rate in relation to his movements, and they measure the amniotic fluid level. If I make it to 41 weeks still pregnant, I will be induced. I will be 41 weeks on February 2nd. I have some friends hoping I will go into labor soon--like Monday or Tuesday. But I will be very surprised if labor starts in the next week because Juniper was induced at 9 days late and I don't FEEL any signs that it will be happening soon. Though I have been more emotional the last few days. My OB midwife said that could be a sign. We'll see! I'll keep you posted.

Beach

We hiked the Tennessee Valley trail to the beach today. Juni did some rock climbing!

This sort of thing runs in the family
