Analisa 23 months old
35 weeks pregnant with Abriella

~Pregnancy~

Well, things seem to be progressing. I am pretty sure I lost my mucus plug yesterday.
I don’t mind delivering early but I don’t want to deliver before I am 37 weeks pg. Also, I scheduled Analisa’s birthday party for October 5th. I will be 37 weeks on October 6th. So I thought that would be safe. I am just hoping I am. I really don’t want to have to postpone the party and I REALLY want to be there. It would be nice, wouldn’t it?
I am feeling fine though. The Braxton Hicks seem to be more frequent but not intense.


~Analisa~

Well, the potty training has been put on hold. I don’t think she is quiet ready for it yet.
She has been in gymnastics for a few weeks now and she loves it. She has such a good time in the gym. And the nice thing is that it really tires her out!
Ana has always been so much fun and so good at getting her pics taken. We tried twice now to get her 2 year old pictures but she kept saying “no pictures taken”. UGH! People have been telling me that it is the age. So I am hoping it will pass.

~TV~

Lots going on here, after all this is the week of the premieres. I am looking forward to seeing Bob as the new Bachelor tonite. And tomorrow night is FRIENDS!!!

~Congrats~

I would like to send a special congratulations to my friend and PG writer Lisa O. on the birth of her daughter Corenn!

This is going to be short. I am not sure at this time what else to write about. I hope you all are doing well.

Did you lose your mucus plug? If so, how long after did you deliver?
Did your child go through a phase of not wanting to gets their pics taken? What age? How long did it last?
