13 days!

Less than two weeks until due date at this point! Physically, I feel pretty good, too. I'm still working and plan to work all the way up until the end. I do feel the occasional awkwardness of pregnancy throughout the day, that's for sure, but I don't feel bad by any means. And I feel lucky and grateful that I've enjoyed my pregnancy and continue to enjoy it in its final weeks.
Ridley gets the hiccups EVERY day! At least once. It's hilarious and I wonder if she'll continue to get hiccups once she is out in the world. I heard another wives' tale that frequent hiccups are a sign of a full head of hair (although I can't think of any logical reason why this would actually be true), so we'll have to see!
Last Sunday night I was having quite a few Braxton Hicks and it made me realize just how close I really am to due date! Of course I didn't feel a single one the entire next day. It's impossible to tell how far away Ridley's birthday really is. I have a checkup at the end of this week that I'm looking forward to if only to perhaps find out if my body is progressing towards labor yet or not (last time I was checked two weeks ago I was 1/2 a cm dilated).

But in the meantime, here are a few pictures of me at 38 weeks. I don't think the pictures really do justice to the size of my baby belly, but it's close.
