6 Days 'til Due Date

Hmmmm. Baby is still not here yet. We are quite surprised that I have made it this far! What a blessing. I have been staying busy around the house, making sure to as they say, 'tie up loose ends' prior to the baby's arrival. I have the contraction timer ready, though I have only needed to record a few contractions. I seem to be quite uncomfortable in the evenings, however during the day not much is going on.

Even though my OB has given me the go ahead to proceed with any activities I can tolerate, my father-in-law does not want me doing much. Thus, I have eyes on me at all times! In addition to this, I am hearing his 'old wives tales' daily, such as: I should not be drinking anything too cold, as I can transmit a cold to the baby. SO cute. Another one: if I am eating a fruit salad, I can only have an odd number of fruits- no eating an even number of fruits together! hehe. Also, for some reason I don't understand, my father-in-law is very concerned with the idea of Luis cutting the umbilical cord. I'll have to ask Luis about that one. Though, old wives tales aside,there is most definitely a lot that I can learn from my in-laws, as they raised four incredible children. Our baby boy will be blessed by 2 sets of amazing grandparents!

Hopefully after my appointment tomorrow, more updates to come!
