37 weeks and counting...

So today marks the day that I am officially "full term." They say that the baby is fully developed and can now be born without worry anytime between now and 42 weeks. But, if I have to go to 42 weeks, I'm going to need Justin to push me around in a wheelbarrow! I'm just really tired, that's all!

We went to the doc last Thursday. She said I was measuring at about 35 weeks (smaller than the week before), which means that the baby's head has probably dropped down further into my pelvis. That's a good sign! She estimated that he weighs about 6 pounds at this point and will be about 7.5 lbs at birth--if I give birth in 3 weeks, as "planned." Sounds fine to me! We're getting REALLY close to choosing a name, but nothing will be revealed until the big day!

Here's a cute picture of Justin, our niece Elliott (almost 3 months old in this pic), and Bill (Justin's dad...although you can't really see him in this pic). Justin will be an OUTSTANDING father, I just know it! And then there's a picture of me with Elliott. She's crying, which doesn't exactly instill a lot of confidence in my parenting skills, does it?!?
