37 weeks

Only three weeks to go until Baby L joins our family! Peter and I took some time over winter break to get things ready for the big arrival. The baby now officially has a place to sleep, some clean clothes, and some diapers. We still have yet to install the infant car seat, but the cold weather has left us both unwilling to clean out the cars and finish this last task!


Baby L's profile pic from today.

As for baby details, I am dilated to 2 cm, more than 50% effaced, and the baby is "more than engaged" as the midwife put it. This part, I could have told her on my own! We had an ultrasound today because they thought the baby was measuring too small, but it turns out that it has just dropped so far, that it makes it seem like I'm not growing from week to week. The estimated weight of the baby is 7 pounds, 3 ounces, though in ultrasounds, this can be up to a pound off. I'm considered full-term now, so anytime the baby wants to come, it can come. Though I'm not quite ready at work for my maternity leave, so that's what is keeping me busy these days.
