"the last"

i seem to be saying this a lot. this will be our last trip to anchorage with only one baby; the last date night before baby comes; the last time seeing family before baby... if only all this had proved to be correct. i'm beginning to think she may never come. people keep telling me you can't be pregnant forever, but i don't believe them. i had a few dates in mind that i was thinking she may arrive. those have come and gone. i liked the idea of both babies being born on the 25th - easy for all to remember. i also thought how cool would that be to have both babies on their due date? and then, even my dad's birthday on the 22nd. oh well. so now, the next date in mind is april 1st. april fools. that's a fun day although i'd have to assure people, no really, i'm not joking!

ben and i were woke up this morning at 5 and then again at 7 with calls from the midwifery. i was obviously in a deep enough sleep that when i finally answered the phone at the 7 o'clock hour, i was excited they were calling me - like, they were calling me to come have the baby. i was then confused for a second and realized, no, i'm the one that is suppose to call them when i'm ready. boo. their answering machine was not working, so i was given a mobile number to call, just in case. oh, how i wish i were able to have utilized that number!

i had an appointment last friday but nothing new to report. all the cramping, pressure and braxton hicks contractions are preparing my body for her arrival. all good things, just a matter of time. i know the average pregnancy is 38-42 weeks, but it's hard to be patient! 9/10 months is a LONG time to wait for somebody's arrival. my next appointment is on april 2nd, and i am really hoping that i get to cancel it.

on saturday, we went on (here i go again) our last date before baby. we went out for sushi rolls and a movie. momma diane snapped a few pictures before we left.

and this is the cape that i made for jackie.
