Full Term!

We made it. 36 weeks...9 months...full term. Baby is fully developed and if he/she comes tomorrow, he/she won't be considered premature. What a relief and what a great feeling! Now, I don't necessarily want the baby to come too early...but I sure wouldn't be upset if it happened a little early! I'm sure he/she is staying cozy in there, and with the weather up here, I don't blame him/her! (I am READY to know the gender -- this he/she/him/her is getting old, haha)

Ya'll. It. Is. Cold. I have never been exposed to so much snow in my life! For example, we had about 5 inches left on the ground from last week's storm, and last night we got another 6 inches...and it is still coming down hard out there now! It's pretty, at least. These windows really let us see a wonderland every morning.


Weston and Nora Kate have been going a little stir crazy and the weather really makes for cozy days confined to the house. Nora Kate has started exploring her climbing abilities and Weston has jumped in the bounce house and played so much Mario that sometimes he just lays down and falls asleep. It can get a little nutty but I have to think that all this cancelled school and snow is allowing me to spend this time with the "bigs" before their baby brother or sister arrives. It's definitely bittersweet.



I went to see Dr. Rao on Monday for my 36 week appointment. He says I'm measuring on track and everything looks great. The head is down and I am a "fingertip dilated". Hey, it's progress! I've started taking my Evening Primrose Oil and am preparing for labor/delivery! It's time to really have everything together. The car seat is still in the box but at least we have it. The baby clothes are all washed and folded, not quite in their drawers, but they're clean. The baby swing, vibrating chair, etc., are all still in the basement, but we know where they are and I'll get them out closer to time. They will only be in the way before the baby comes. We are ready and excited!!
