36 weeks, 4 days: Happy Birthday Grammy Deb!

Lots of pictures today: two belly shots because I'm not sure the first one really did it justice and some sneak peaks of baby's spaces-in-progress.

35 weeks: Update

Today was a big day: we installed car seats and started packing a hospital bag!  The car seats were fine; the hospital bag freaked me out.  Although there are many things left on the to-do list, we would be ready if we have to be.  In addition to the car seats, we have a cradle and clean sheets and diapers and clean clothes and clean blankets.  He would not be neglected!

But I keep reminding him that he's not allowed to arrive yet.  Despite plenty of Braxton-Hicks contractions (pretty much every time I stand up), my midwife is letting me go two more weeks before my next appointment.  I'm trying to get my grading done, but pregnancy brain is making it challenging.  Everything I do right now, physical or mental, is very, very slooooowwwwww. 

34 weeks: Major milestone

According to babycenter.com, "babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine."  This really is the home stretch.  We're not serving the eviction notice quite yet -- 3 1/2 more weeks -- but it's exciting and a huge relief that we've reached healthy baby territory.
