Well we are one day from my due date and still holding strong. I'm still teaching even though my students are very concerned that the baby is going to "fall out of me" in the middle of class. Why they think she is going to just drop and hit the ground we may never know... but I've tried to explain it's quite a process that takes hours. Many have asked, "What if your water breaks in class?" I've assured them that less than 10% of water breaks naturally so the odds are it won't happen in class. This school year there are times I feel more like a science teacher rather than Spanish teacher. They also keep asking why I'm still at school. My response is simple, "Why wouldn't I be? I'd much rather be hanging out with you guys than sitting at home twiddling my thumbs. :)" While in reality I'd rather save my time-off to hang out with Lilly rather than just myself. I really do like this group of kiddos and have a feeling I'm going to miss them between now and mid-January.
Mom and I put together a cute door sign for the hospital door. We found the cute quilted fabric at City Craft and got the idea there to buy a hoop to put it in for the backdrop. All the cute accessories are removable and useable! (hair clips, booties, rattle stuffed bear) I'm partial but I think it turned out just perfect! Jeremiah's response when I showed him proudly was... "What's/Who's lgm (liggum)?" So for those of you that are missing the point too... lgm are her initials, lillian grace marshall. :)
We are all packed and ready to go! Even Lilly has her first piece of luggage topstitched in pink with her monogram!
I don't think I could be more ready for her to get here! I've been having some contractions the past few days for about 3 hours/day... they just aren't very consistent. I go in for my 40 week appointment tomorrow. Hopefully we have made some progress and she will make an appearance in the next couple of days!
