Another Pregnancy Picture....

Are you getting sick of looking at my belly?? Oh - the small hole above my belly button is where I once had a belly ring - years and years ago!

Well - less than three weeks to go and I am getting SO excited! I had a Doctor's appointment this past Friday and all is well..I was "checked" to see if I was dilated and effaced - which FYI is NOT pleasant at ALL! The good news is - I am dilated to a 2 and I am 70% effaced - which I was really surprised by. Things are progressing as they should - yeah! I had some cramps or I guess I could start calling them contractions on Saturday night - which was very exciting and I also had a few yesterday. Other than that - no action. My doctor gave me the "note" - when to call her when I go into labor - what I should be looking for - how far contractions should be apart from one another - all that fun stuff. I guess it could really be any day. Am I ready? With the material things - yes I am ready...mentally is a different story. I could use another few months to wrap my head around the HUGE change that is about ready to take place in the Ontiveros house. Jose and I have decided on names - we have several choices for each sex - so we'll have to see what the baby looks like first. We are not sharing names - not even our parents know. It's much better this way...everyone has an opinion on baby names and we prefer not to hear everyone's opinions!

Tomorrow Erica and I are going to hit the mall for any last minute needs that I may have. Cute PJ's and slippers for the hospital - you know REALLY important stuff! I am looking forward to it - and tonight I am going to finally pack my bags. You never know!!
