So, it's now Sunday, August 10th. My due date (August 9th) came and went and still, no baby! For the love!!! I'm really over this whole pregnancy thing. I just can't wait to meet this little one (and to be done being pregnant). As of Thursday, I was still only dilated to a 1 and baby still hadn't dropped, so we'll see when she decides to make her grand entrance into the world! So, until she does come, I'm just impatiently (and uncomfortably) waiting! Stay tuned...

About Me
Good Stuff...
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking the kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with the children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." -Marjorie Hinckley

Ah, Holly, I feel for you! There's nothing quite as discouraging as seeing that due date come and go. We've been thinking about you and praying for you and wondering when we'd get "that phone call"...! Hang in there! A year from now, you'll look back and wonder where the time went to.
thinking about you two so much!! hang in there sister!
I'm serious! Lets go to the mall or something and go walk around! Lets hang out before you are stuck in the house for a month! Let me know when you are free this week.
Hang in there! In many ways, those last few days are the hardest! Especially with the anticipation of your FIRST! But don't let your mind play tricks on you like mind did on me -- I had seriously convinced myself that Henry was NEVER going to come. I was simply going to be pregnant for the rest of my life! Now, that is NOT a good feeling. But don't worry, your new adventure will start shortly ... if it hasn't already!!!
Aw, Holly, I know exactly how you feel! Nothing worse than having your due date come and go with no baby! Hang in there! This will be a distant memory very soon!
Cute nursery!
And I love the pics of Janelle's homecoming. We wished we could've been there!
Hang in there girl!!! Your almost there...I'll keep my fingers crossed for you this week!
We're prayin' for you...it will be over before you know it. We miss you! We are in Utah for a family wedding, and we are crazy with car problems right now so our plans for visits are on hold. If we can get everything worked out we'd love to come by - I'll call you :) Hopefully we will be visiting you in the hospital!
Agghh...I am so sorry hang in there! Can't wait to meet your baby.
I hope you have already had your sweet baby by the time you read this! The end of a pregnancy is so miserable! But, oh, what a sweet reward you get in the end!
Keep hanging in there!!! My thoughts are with you. And remember, how you are dialated has no bearing on when you have this little one. I have known many a mom who went from 1-2cm to pushing in just a number of hours. When your body is ready, she will come.
That is the WORST! Every day wondering if this is going to be the day. At least it is to be somewhat expected with the first.
My first came on the due date, 2nd the day before but my 3rd came 3 days late, 4th, 9 days late, PURE TORTURE!! they finally induced me and my 5th, after 2 days late (I didn't want a 10 pound baby) we induced.
SO I feel your pain. It's just Heavenly Father' way of mentally preparing you to be ready for it to be over.
Hurry up and push her out already! Evan was late too- it's a good but uncomfortable thing. She just wants to keep growing and hanging out with you. Be sure to get as much sleep as you can, you're gonna need it!
I feel your pain. Zoe was late but I induced a week after my due date which I don't regret. She was 8lbs. 2oz. I can't imagine how much bigger she would have been if I had waited. At least maybe you can sleep a little bit if that is possible for you and go to the movies and out to dinner as much as you can.
