37 Weeks!!!

WE ARE OFFICIALLY FULL TERM! I am beyond thrilled to have made it to this milestone. Knowing that from this day on baby will be healthy and thrive once on the outside is such a relief. We had our ultrasound appointment yesterday and baby is laying head down on its side. Just like at our 20 week ultrasound, baby would not show its face so we have yet to get a good view of this kid. All we could pick out was the tip of a nose. Our midwife didn't go below the lungs so yes, we still plan to be surprised at the birth with the sex of the baby. I am measuring a little small at 34 weeks but the midwife said she was not concerned considering my frame and that I measured small with Lucy. We have weekly appointments now and were told that as of next week we could do a "membrane sweep" if we choose to possibly help labor start. I haven't done my research on it so that's my job for the next few days.

I have been feeling strangely well the past couple of days, minus the nightly headaches. Now that we are full term I am picking up my activity level as much as possible to keep things in order and take some of the work off of Jameson. The baby's activity has finally slowed down though I definitely still feel movement. Mainly its a rolling feeling as baby switches from side to side. The heat makes it impossible to do anything outside which is rough on both Lucy and I. I find myself switching between being so anxious for this baby to come out and loving the last couple of weeks with just Lu. I have been thinking about having her make something for the baby so when we bring it home she will see who all this baby talk has been about.

Jameson asked me to have the baby next Friday so he can have the most time off to be with us. Part of his plan is going to Buffalo Wild Wings next Thursday night since that is where I went into labor with Lucy. My sister offered for me to use her treadmill since I can't walk outside so hopefully I can track a few waddles on there. I have noticed some signs of impending labor but I won't share those fun facts on here. If all goes according to (Jameson's) plan I will have one more weekly update so stay tuned! Any last minute guesses on boy or girl????
