Week 38 - Another Birth

Henna Tattoo

Robin Elise Weiss

Another birth this week - a long one, but a great one. It makes me excited. I can't believe we're having a baby! I know it's been a bit slow in coming...

I have contractions, they come and go. Sometimes they are regular. It's all a part of the last weeks of pregnancy.

A friend came over and painted henna tattoos on my belly. I choose a flower with seven points. Hilary enjoyed watching. Then I let her get one too. She chose a paisley on her shoulder. Clara took off her shirt and wanted a flower. Owen kept walking around saying, "No paint it Owen. Paint it Clara." Once we painted Clara, Owen ripped off her shirt and wanted one too. It was a henna party. They all looked very cute. Kevin said we looked like the star bellied sneetches!
