December 16th

Today is the day I dreamt I'd go into labor, but so far nothing has happened.  I'm comfortable with the fact that she'll come when she's ready, but I just thought it would be so cool if the dream meant something.  I suppose the day's not over yet :) 

1st day of maternity leave

Day 1 of approximately 274 days maternity leave:

I am now officially on maternity leave and officially full-term today at 38 weeks.  Two weeks until the estimated due date, 20th December, and only a week and 3 days until the 16th of December which is when I dreamt she'd come :)  So curious to see if there is any truth to that.

She continues to be very active and over the weekend I had an increasing number of 'practice contractions', though so far none today . . . oh I take that back, I just had one :)

Rob and I went to our 'active birthing' class on Saturday and I think it has excited us both even more for her arrival.  At the end of the class two birthing videos were shown and we both reflected on how long it had been since we'd seen a birthing video.  Of course watching that now holds completely different meaning!

Today, I'm cleaning the house , I don't think I'm "nesting" because I'd rather be doing anything else; I'm just cooped up in the house with snow and ice outside and nothing else to do.  Maybe I'll start blogging more often too!

Snow!

It would make for an interesting day if Baby Clements decided to arrive today!

Fierce and Fiesty at 29 Weeks

Hello! It's been over a year since I've updated our blog and I thought this was a good occasion to do so . . .

The proud hairy bump at 22 weeks:

(Believe me, it's hairy)!

And this is the beautiful baby girl inside:)
