39 weeks today folks! By medical definition this boy is done (if I had opted to schedule a c-section he'd be born today!) Apparently it's the babies themselves who put out the hormone that sends your body into labor, so although it's really really really out of my control, I'm doing whatever I can (within limits) to encourage him along. I'm eating foods that supposedly bring on labor (even though medically there is no proven link between your stomach and your uterus, which makes sense, but I'm trying anyway), I'm walking as much as I can (although my feet get tired really quickly, frustrating), and I'm going to blow up my yoga ball tonight to start bouncing on (a tip from Little D's mom, thanks again!)
So while I try to keep my one-track mind occupied with anything other than having this baby (in vain) and listen to Little B not nap again (why did my 2 year old decide to stop napping right before his brother is born?!), here are a couple pictures of how our second nursery turned out. When I get too frustrated with this little basketball inside me I'll just go chill in there, it's a very calming room, at least for now!

| Changing table alcove, I'm still looking for the right thing to hang on that wall |
