I'm pretty sure that he stripped my membranes while I was there and I had contractions all day yesterday. Before I left the doctor we watched and I had several contractions while still there. He told me I would have the baby either yesterday or today-I told him not to be so sure! I'm still having them now, but they're not as intense. My fingers are crossed that my water will just break soon so that I don't have to play this guessing game of if this is real or not. If it wasn't raining I would be tempted to go for a walk!
On one hand, I'm REALLY ready for her to just get here. I think that I know how close I am and am just ready to hold my little girl in my arms. BUT, we've been spending a lot of time together as a family of 3 which I think is good for Evan. I'm also not quite ready to be done being pregnant. If this is our last baby, this will be the last time I feel these little movements inside of me.
He was going to schedule to induce next Wednesday, but then told me he wasn't because he knew I'd have the baby before then. He told me that he would be the one at the hospital on Sat and if I come and have ONE contraction then he'll keep me and help me along. At first I was excited about that, but now I'm just scared I'll show up and be sent home. I think I might call today or tomorrow and see if they'll put me back on the books for next Wednesday.
But for now, here is a recent belly pic.
I know I've been a little MIA lately, but I've also had some family issues. My grandmother is back in the hospital and we had family in town this weekend. I'm still getting new Baby Bash giveaways up so stay tuned! I was thinking that Isabella would be here to test a few for herself before the bash was over, but it's not looking that way!

You are looking amazing!! I will be sending happy easy (and soon) labor thoughts your way!!! I can't wait to see your sweet little babe!!
First let me say WOW you look amazing! Such a beautiful mama! I can't believe you are 5cm & they have not induced you yet! That is NUTS! I've never heard of such a thing! Prayin your lil blessing arrives ASAP!
Love that baby belly! I bet you will have your little girl later today! I wish you all the best mama!
DAWN
You loook wonderful. I hope you have a short ( well you are half way there..lol) labor and are holding your little girl soon.
This is the first time I have posted here but I do follow you on Twitter.
Love the baby belly. I hope you have easy labor! Enjoy all of your pregnancy moments. We stopped at 3 & there are still days I crave another baby. Maybe not another really, but at least some of it.
Good luck!
Oh you look great Mommy :) Hang in there...you are probably so sick of hearing that though. We brought my daughter home from the hospital ON my son's 1st birthday...so Isabella could end up being Evan's present too...or maybe share the same birthday :) -- BUT I have a feeling you will have her before the weekend -- Oh I'm thinking of you!
You are very beautiful! Hope all goes well as you prepare to have the baby!
What an adorable belly you have, you look great. The end of pregnancy always brings so much back and forth thought, you want the baby out, but you aren't ready to be done with pregnancy. Good luck :)
You look great! When you do go into actual labor, already being 5 cm, you will have that baby in about two minutes! It it were me, I'd be camped out in the ER!
You look fabulous. Can't wait to see pictures of the baby. Oh, and I really hope your grandmother will be ok. She's in my prayers.
Awwe, you look great! Look up the recipe for labor cookies..some people swear by them, and good luck! :)
You look beautiful! Hang in there ... soon enough :D Sending good thoughts and prayers for your grandmother again
gorgeous baby bump!!! can't wait to see the real deal!!
You are so close! I bet you'll have your little one very soon. Enjoy these last few moments as a family of 3!
You look great! Hope things move fast for you!
Prayers for your grandma!
My goodness you are getting close! I think I would be scared to walk around being 5 cm dialated....aren't you supposed to already be in the hospital bed with some good meds by now! I hope everything goes well over the next few days...can't wait to see pics of your pretty little girl!
Praying for you! She'll be here before you know it! I had my "last" one last year, and I remember those feelings of trying to hold on to every last minute I could of being pregnant.
congrats on slowly getting there!! I would get to impatient at this point in all of my pregnancies. But - you look AWESOME!!!!! Good luck and hopefully you're holding your little girl in your arms soon : )
Congratulations on your great progress! I delivered twin boys in June and literally didn't 'go into labor' until I was dialated to 9cm and my dr. broke my water! I pray for easy labor like that for you, too!
Here's hoping you have an easy and safe delivery. I'm sure you're ecstatic at the thought of meeting your little angel girl.
5 CM already??! That is awesome!! You look adorable!
You look great! So exciting Isabella will make her debut soon! Good luck with everything! :)
How exciting! You look great and I'll keep you in my thoughts over the next few days. Keep us updated!
She'll be here before you know it! Sorry to hear about your Grandmother.......that's tough.......
Take care, and can't wait to see the new little one....
How exciting!!! I go today at 38.5 weeks and I'm hoping for some news that I too am dilating without actually being in labor. A girl can hope. And yet I have the same conflicting feelings about not being ready yet to make my son a big brother. :)
I look forward to the post welcoming your daughter into the world!
Almost there! You are looking good!
You look great mama! I can't believe your little one is almost here. Best of luck!
Good luck! I hope you have a smooth and healthy delivery! If you need anything while you're gone I'm just an email away! Don't be afraid to ask!
Best of luck Dee from everyone over here at Stork Craft!
Praying for you Dee. These last few days are tough physically and emotionally. Especially if it's your last...I was such an emotional wreck with Charlie! Hang in there and can't wait to hear of sweet Isabella's arrival!
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!
Can't wait to see the new little one!
Heaven's very sweetest blessings to your new baby about to be born!!!! :)
You look great! Best of luck to you!
Well, I'm sure your head is already bursting but I'll add to the throng - you look fabulous!
We'll pray that your labour progresses and that your little one arrives safe and sound.
I felt the same way with my second pregnancy. I wasn't (and still am not) sure if he was our last one or not since we now have a bo and a girl...it was a bittersweet moment to wake up in labor!
blessings!
You look beautiful! I remember being in your shoes not that long ago...it took 2 days after my membranes were stripped and my water broke. Blessings to you as you (patiently) await you new little one!
It will be here soon and I hope you enjoy all the little kicks and taps and hiccups until the time comes. I'll be thinking about you.
You look adorable STILL!
Thanks for the update on you and your soon to be here little one! You look great!
I totally get you on the "not quite ready to be done being pregnant". If it is your last at one point you will miss not ever getting to do it again.
Enjoy your last few prego moments!
You look great! I know at this point it's just a waiting game. It sucks, but once she's here time is going to fly by, and then you'll want it to slow down!
*Sending baby-coming-out vibes*
You're looking so good. Here's to Isabella showing up before Saturday!
I can't believe you are walking around dilated 5 cm...I never got that far on my own when I was in labor! I bet it's quick once it starts!
Congratulations! You're almost there! I'm 35 weeks along with a baby girl. I love your name choice! Our daughter's middle name will be Isabella.

You look adorable! I'll be praying for your grandma, and for you and your labor/delivery! Hopefully you'll update on Twitter so we know!! =)
Best of luck! Hope you can have the birth experience you want soon!
Oh I can't stand how cute you are its not fair! Hey I think to pass the time how about a picture of Isabella's nursery and stuff?
(and I played the real or not guessing game the whole last 2 weeks of my pregnancy...so not fun!)
OMG! I can't wait till I get to this point. I wish you a great labor process. I can't wait to see new baby photos.
I'm 32 weeks Friday and I'm already ready to get this baby out, but it our last one as well and I will really miss being pregnant.
You look beautiful!! How I wish I was there again (Yea, my youngest is 15)! I loved being pregnant so I understand how you feel. Best of luck to you and your little family!
Could be tonight!
~Nancy
Good luck! You look great! My doctor said the same thing to me when I was pregnant with my last and I told him before I left the office that he had just jinxed me and I was right! Why do they do that? Anyways I'm sure it will happen soon!
Amanda
I'm praying you have the baby soon! And praying for your grandmother too!
How exciting! I'm going to agree with the doctor...if you are 5 cm I'm guessing you'll be holding Isabella in your arms before Wednesday! You look beautiful in the photo! Wishing you a quick and easy delivery!
lookin' good girl!! good luck!
You look great -you are in my thoughts for a safe delivery!
Contractions and Blogging at the sametime!? What a woman!
Can't wait to read about the delivery and see the new baby.
Wow - it won't be long now and you look incredible! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers and heck, I'd just show up on Saturday - lol!
Kimberly

YAY MOMMA! You look GREAT! Enjoy her little movements while you can.
You look great, look at your glow!!
Your baby girl will be here very soon! I wish you a healthy and easy delivery.
You look stunning! I know you are all very excited. Sending prayers for a easy delivery. Can't wait to see pictures of Isabella.

You look absolutly fabulous and I can't believe you are still blogging while 5cm and having contractions!!! I was screaming for an epidural by now!! :-)
I'm praying for you, your family and little Isabella's health and safety. Tell Evan I'm thinking of him and know he'll be a wonderful big brother.
