Well, Baby has hung in there to full-term now, so we begin our countdown to the arrival which can be any day now. That is so crazy to say, that any day now we can become parents!! My body is definitely ready for the arrival, especially as my pelvic area is spreading causing great discomfort. However, when I consider all that could have gone wrong during this pregnancy, that is nothing to me and I am reminded of how easy this pregnancy has been overall and how blessed we have been. My husband is probably sick of hearing me complain about how much pain I am in right now, but I try to keep it between the two of us as it really isn't much to complain about compared to things others have gone through!
We have definitely been nesting around here. Over these past two weeks of Christmas break we, mostly because of JR, have cleaned all the light fixtures, vacuumed the ceilings (yes, I did say vacuumed!), organized the office and basement, kept up on all the laundry, finished the last details in the baby's room, cleaned the ceiling fans, and more! JR has been such a blessing and what a trooper during these times. I owe him big time!!
As for an update with doctor visits, I had my first internal check at 36 weeks and was told that I was dilated about the width of a fingertip. I'll get that checked again at this week's 38-week appointment. The doctor also estimated the baby to be approximately 7.5 pounds already, approaching 8 lbs. when checked at last week's 37-week appointment. The heartbeat is still very strong, and the baby is in the correct position for delivery. Thankfully each appointment has been supplied with good news! Thank you, Lord!!
And to wrap up this update, here is a look at how HUGE I am at this point:
Glad you've made it this far! Not too much longer!!
