A little background information. I went into labor with Aubrie ON my due date which was February 1st and she was born at 4:27am on February 2nd.
Currently I am 35 weeks. I will be 36 weeks this Thursday the 28th. I am already dilated 1cm. I have read and have been told by my Doctor that the 2nd time is always sooner & quicker (let's hope so!)
Just thought it would be fun for everyone to take a guess.
If you think it will be sooner than the options I listed, I made an OTHER option for your guess.

Is it really splitsville for these two?
Rumors are swirling that they’ve already signed a $330 million dollar deal to split their assets right down the middle and are in the process of preparing a formal statement.
It’s also been reported that they will retain joint custody of the kids, who will allegedly live with Angie.
As a mom, this news makes me beyond sad.
But as a J. Aniston fan?
That, my friend, is what they call CLOSURE.

Dr. Appt
Had a Doctor Appt. yesterday (Friday the 22nd) I am 1cm dilated!!! Won't be long now! I do need to make sure she stays in until after Aubrie's b*day party... which is on the 6th of February. I will be 37 weeks and 2 days then. Keep your fingers crossed!

**Borrowed this from my sis, couldn't have said it better myself!** P.S Will do an update tomorrow on the beautiful shower she had for Kendall & I. Right now.... i'm off to get my beauty sleep!
A lesson in etiquette…
If you get invited to an event and have no intention of attending for whatever reason (I tend to stick to not attending something ONLY under the conditions of illness, family death, or unbreakable prior obligations), and you elect NOT to RSVP, know that you will be considered a rude, selfish individial. And if your invitation clearly provides an RSVP/Regrets Only line, including the contact information and deadline, for the love, let THAT person know. Let them know soooomething. And even if you can’t come, tell THAT person listed, not the guest of honor… for a lot of reasons. And as a rule of thumb… if you just think, “well, it won’t matter if I don’t come. I’m just one person.”, for a second, imagine how many other people could be saying the same thing. Then imagine if it’s a party thrown in YOUR honor, and how you probably won’t want to listen to lame excuses, and instead, about how it would make you feel.
Whew. Okay, I feel better.

Week 34
Your growing baby: Your baby weighs five pounds or more, about the size of a bag of sugar. She will continue to gain about two or more pounds in the next six weeks. Now that your baby's brain has formed billions of neurons, it must accomplish the even more complex feat of hooking the neurons and synapses together. Your baby's brain is forming trillions of connections, making it possible for her to learn in the womb. All of this brain development may be the reason that your baby sleeps frequently at this stage. She may even be dreaming—her eyes dart around rapidly just as an adult's might in REM sleep. Your child's development is in no way complete at birth. In the first year after birth, a baby's brain triples in size and becomes three-quarters of its adult size.
Your changing body: The volume of your uterus is five hundred to one thousand times larger than before you got pregnant, so it's safe to say you're feeling huge and slow. You're still running to the bathroom frequently and probably will from here on out. Try to drink a lot of water early in the day, so you don't get thirsty at night and make things worse. If you haven't purchased your baby's car seat and installed it facing rear-ward in the backseat of your car yet, do it now. You'll also want to start thinking about what you want to pack in your hospital bag.
Wow, 6 weeks left. Could be less than 40 days away. Yikes! So much to do. So little energy. Couldn't I just pay the cleaning fairy to do it? Ok, didn't think so. But seriously if ANYONE wants to come and wash my dishes, vacuum my carpets and dust.... I wouldn't object to that. HINT HINT

33 Weeks!! 49 days to go!
Your Pregnancy: Week 33
You're large, but you most definitely don't feel in charge, since the baby seems to be completely taking over your body. Up several times a night to go to the bathroom? It's all just practice for getting up in the wee hours for feedings, changings and general fussiness. The one difference: Cuddling that babe in your arms for a feeding is way better than heaving yourself to the bathroom for the sixth time—in the dark.
What You're Thinking: "Isn't there anywhere you could stand besides on my bladder, baby?"
Your Baby
The big news this week is lung development—baby's respiratory system is almost completely mature. That means if your baby was born this week, odds are he'd be a healthy bouncing baby with a just a little help from his friends (aka, the NICU). Some of the specifics are:
- Your baby can now detect light and tell the difference between night and day (of course that ability will miraculously disappear once he's born and up all night screaming). His pupils will constrict and dilate in response to light. If you shine a flashlight on your belly, your baby may shy away from the light as if to say, "Cut it out, Ma. You're soooo annoying."
- The bones in your baby's skull are soft and are not yet fused together. In other words, now is not the time to teach him how to do a headspin while breakdancing. This pliability allows the bones to overlap; making that trip down the tight birth canal possible (and resulting in that surprising cone head look your baby may sport for the first few days post-birth. Don't worry, it's totally normal and that's what hats are for.)
- Your baby will continue to pack on the pounds gaining around 1/2 pound a week from here on out.
- Your baby weighs about 4 1/2 pounds, as much as a grownup duck, and is approximately 17.5 inches long, about the same as a collarbone-length pearl necklace.
