37 Weeks

Whoo-hoo! The baby is now considered full-term and will most likely be healthy and strong when she is born. I was 3cmm dilated at my appointment last Friday, and the baby has dropped as far as she can go into my pelvis. My plan was to keep working until April 2, but I quickly changed my mind and made yesterday my last "official" day in the office. I figure, even if she takes her time coming, I'll have some time to relax and prepare for labor and get ready to have a newborn again.

I feel like she's going to come soon, but also don't want to jinx myself into being pregnant for 3+ more weeks! Jake and I had our "last supper" date over the weekend and talked about how it would be very fitting for our family to have an April Fool's baby. At least we won't have 4 birthdays right in a row in March (Lily is the 19th, Jake is the 22nd & my dad is the 24th)!

36 Weeks (9 Months!)



I am huge and uncomfortable! Kind of feel like my labor will begin anyday now and that there is no way I'll make it until April 19. Last day of work is April 2!

35 Weeks

The baby is now over 5 pounds and 18 inches long! It feels like she's doing yoga in my uterus half the time - completely stretches out and pokes me - ouch. Very hard to find comfortable positions and sleep at night. Really feel like the clock is ticking now...hard to believe I'll have two kids soon!
