Had my appointment yesterday.  My little over-acheiver produced so much amniotic fluid! I am so proud of her.  I was at 11 last week and it was low.  I am not at 17! Go Lily!!!  She weighs 7 lbs 12 ozs - The doctor is letting me decide what I want to do next week.  He said he will not let me go any time over my due date, so I am going to tell him I would like to be induced if she doesn't come naturally.  He is worried my pelvis isn't wide enough to pass an 8 lb baby, but the sonogram could be off by 10% meaning that she might only be 7 lbs or on the other hand she could already be over 8.  I just really don't know what to do.  This is a tough decision.  My mother in law says there is no reason why I can't have the baby naturally.  She has seen women have 9 pound babies.  The weird thing is is that Lily is gaining, but I am not.  Not complaining about that at all, but she just keeps getting bigger and I am not.  Even my MIL said I am still pretty small for carrying an almost 8 lb baby and being over 9 mths pregnant.  I am carrying like my mom did though. 

Maybe I shouldn't have jumped the gun and ordered all that Nutrisystem.  I just got my second month yesterday.  I am storing it under my bed and in my closet!  I have nowhere else to put it!!!  I have to remember to cancel my third shipment.  I think I only need two months.  I really don't want to get too thin.  Maybe I will be back to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time school starts in September. 

Still hoping to go into labor any day now.  I thought he was going to admit me today.  I got my pedicure and my nails done really short, so I don't have to worry about them for a few weeks.  I did them pink, for Lily! 

Since he didn't admit me, I enrolled in another course towards my Masters plus 30 - (that's the next payscale upgrade)  I already have my MA so now I am just taking credits towards my plus 30 - I already have 5 credits.  I enrolled in a class about teaching strategies for the short story.  I may try and take one more class on maternity leave so when I start school in September I will have taken 12 credits.  Slow and steady...whenever I have a few extra dollars saved that is when I take a class.  I am pretty excited to start.  I love school and this will give me something to focus on for the next week.  My goal is to bang out the class in a week. 

Lily has been speaking to me for the last couple of days.  I bought a book on Angels and Ascended Masters - I didn't look at the cover when I bought the book.  When I got home to read, I noticed that the paining of the woman on the cover was holding a huge bouquet of lilies.  I also noticed that the bouquet of roses and lilies that my students bought me last week all the roses died, but the lilies are huge and open.  I looked up the symbolic message of lilies and yellow lilies mean "walking on air".  "Walking on Air" is the title of our wedding song.  One more...Yesterday while I was getting my nails done I was reading my book on Angels and I turned it over to read the cover.  Turns out that the woman on the cover is the goddess Guenevere and she is the goddess of fertility and motherhood.  I wonder what signs Lily will send me today! 

I am going to take a nice brisk walk this afternoon and meet some colleagues for lunch.  Maybe that will get labor started!!! Wish me luck!
