All The Pretty Little Ponies.

First things first:

My dear friend Brooksie shared that gem on my due date.  Love it.  

As I'm typing this I am bouncing on an exercise ball.  It's actually much more comfortable than any chair, and it can potentially help bring baby girl into position.  As the days continue to pass, and Miss Adelaide continues to wait, we become more and more anxious to meet her.  On the very first night in our Bradley class, the teacher had us take our due date and add EIGHT days.  The teacher said to forget the original due date we were given because on average, babies arrive eight days after the estimated due date.  Soooooo we could be waiting for awhile.  We had our LAST appointment with our OB today, and although she admitted it was anyone's guess as to when Adelaide will appear, she thinks it will happen within the next couple of days.  Today the Doctor also did a membrane sweep to try to get things going, but she said she's had 50/50 results with it - it works for some, and doesn't for others.  I've been having some contractions, but nothing that indicates Miss Adelaide is in any  rush.  An induction is scheduled for next Wednesday, August 14th, should Adelaide be reeeeaaaallllyyyyy stubborn.            

In an effort to stay busy, I loaded up this past weekend with lots of activities (most of which involve plenty of walking), and Friday night was no exception.  On Friday, Chris and I headed out to "First Fridays" in the Crossroads Art District for a food truck dinner and art browsing.

In one of the first galleries we stopped in, there was a man SINGING HIS HEART OUT and he had the attention of everyone in the room.  After he was done he walked around greeting people and when he saw us, he realized how very pregnant I was and declared to the ENTIRE room that I was expecting a baby.  Then our friend yelled  "I NEED TO SING TO THE BABY!"  So I asked that if he sing,  he let her know that it was time to come out, and so began a SERIOUSLY LOUD rendition of Diana Ross's "I'm coming Out" (during which he had Chris and I join in).  After that he decided a lullaby was in order, and led us over to the grand piano where he sang "All the pretty little ponies" (a lullaby) to Adelaide.

I think my face here really says it all.

It was officially Adelaide's first serenade!   People loved it and I thought it was hysterical.  Admittedly, a lot of public attention has never been my scene, but I know looking back this will be a very fun memory in the middle of a typical Friday.  Here's a snipit of the video a stranger took for us:

The artist tries to get an innocent bystander to buy Adeladie a pony in the middle of the lullaby.  

My favorite gem: "My Lord, that's your fellow woman!"

Needless to say, it was a very memorable Friday night.
