Could be a long month...

Our due date is around September 20th. Today is August 20th. Yesterday I experienced about 38 Braxton-Hicks contractions. Yes, I counted...and wrote down the time each one began. By the time evening hit, I was having about 6 an hour! We were packing the suitcase, I was writing more lists, and Mark was researching contractions online. We're fairly certain it's false labor. The contractions just aren't persistent enough, nor are they getting any stronger. Mark read that it can be due to a very active baby or mother. Well, I haven't been very active the past few days, but we do have an extremely active baby....In the meantime, all I can think of are the things I need to still get done! So maybe I'll work on my checklist a little more today!

It could be a long month...

On another note, here are a few pictures of cute little outfits we've accumulated in the last week. The first is of a onesie that my dad spotted on vacation and the second is an outfit Mark and I picked out last weekend.

This one says "I may be small, but I'm a keeper"--sorry it's tilted


the onesie underneath has moose, raccoons, and bears on it...the hoodie has little bear ears on it, too. we thought it was way too cozy-looking to pass it up!

ps. Does anybody know how to upload a horizontally-snapped photo so that it remains horizontal when posted? The first photo above sure was saved horizontally, but it has flipped vertical both times I've tried uploading it. Any photo uploading advice? It didn't seem to be a problem in my other posts.

Or it could be a short month...:)
Sounds like James is healthy and wiggly.

As for the picture, I wonder if it gets flipped b/c it doesn't fit in the margins of your blog when it is horizontal - just a guess. trying loading it smaller or chaning the size one you upload it, maybe if it is smaller it will post correctly. Like I said, this is just a guess.
