40 weeks and..........

Still Pregnant!! Sounds fun huh.. Well here is a picture of me at 40 weeks. Not a great picture but I guess it still shows how huge I am right. It has gotten to the point where even sitting down is uncomfortable now since her head is about as low as it can get.
This little girl has been playing lots of games with us this past week. Last Tuesday I was having some pretty strong contractions that were about 10 mins apart and then all the sudden they just stopped and I went the rest of the week without to many at all. Today I have been having some contractions all day too but they are not that close yet. We are just hoping she will come soon! The good news is that if she doesn't come by Wednesday they are going to induce me. I never thought I would want to do that but right now I don't really care to much. So either way we will have a little baby girl in our arms by the middle of the week which is a little scary but we can't even wait! While I was in Colorado I had a my Dad and my Sister take a couple maternity pictures of me and my sister is still working on them so I will post those when she sends them to me.

So for the 4th of July the Pentagon was letting the people who work there bring their families into the Pentagon to watch the downtown firework show from the roof. We would have loved to go, but we were a little afraid that it would be way to hard to get home fast if we needed to so we decided not to go. Maybe next year I guess. It would have been really fun! Instead we took Tonka to a park a couple miles away and let him play in the creek. He is so funny.. Preston kept throwing rocks in the creek for him and Tonka would go in after them, stick his face all the way in the water and paw around for them. I thought he was going to suck in all the water! It was so funny. Then we came home and played some pretty intense tennis and golf games on the wii. It was just a low key day but we have enjoyed spending time together before the baby comes. Preston has tomorrow off too so hopefully we can find something else fun to do! Happy 4th of July!!
