10 days to go

The lanugo (downy hair that once covered Adelyn's body) is disappearing. If any of the lanugo remains by birth, it will be found on her shoulders, forehead & neck.

Amy has been experiencing some "true labor" contractions, but still not close enough together to head to the hospital. The pressure builds in her uterine muscles and reaches a peak that lasts 30 to 50 seconds or so. Then the pressure disappears rapidly. It feels like a bad menstrual or intestinal cramp, accompanied by a backache. Definitely warming up to the big event!
