Maternity Photo Shoot

Last night we went out to William Faulkner's homeplace, Rowan Oak, and took some photos to document this pregnancy.  It was humid and 95 degrees but we had been putting it off for a long while!  Here are some of the results.  Not too bad for amateurs with a tripod :)

The doc said I was 50% effaced, but not dilated at my appt last Thursday.  I'm hoping that by this Friday I've progressed a little more, but when he decides to come is outside of my control.  He's still as active as ever.  I did get the u/s tech to take some 4D shots of Baby W.   He's got full lips and chubby cheeks - I cannot wait to see him in person.  Hard to believe I have gained 30 lbs during this pregnancy.    First thing in the morning, my feet hurt when I get out of bed.  They are not used to supporting this much extra poundage.  I'm still going to prenatal yoga once a week and yesterday I got completely breathless doing modified sun salutations and triangle pose.  I am so curious to see how my body handles the birthing process.  I tried the perineal massage a couple of days ago and that hurt like the dickens.  I hope I can get through this without an epidural.  Hopefully I only have about 2 weeks until I find out!
