So we're now at 37 weeks which is technically full term. What?! Seriously? How in the world are we here already???
I'm feeling nearly completely prepared at home. We ordered all of our last minute must have items for the baby from Amazon last week. It was an exciting few days of lots of boxes showing up and unpacking all the fun baby stuff. I also packed for the hospital this past weekend. I travel a fair amount for work and am use to packing for a business trip, but I was at a total loss as to what to pack for having a baby! It took me forever to figure out what I wanted to take with us. I may not have everything I'll need or want, but at least the bags are packed and we won't have to figure that out when I go into labor.
Now all we need is a crib... Well GOOD NEWS! I got a call last week from the baby store and they're delivering and setting up the crib on Thursday. Woohoo! I couldn't have been happier. Had the woman calling me on the phone been right in front of me, I may have kissed her. I can't wait to walk into our baby's room and see it with her crib all set up and ready for her to sleep in.
Besides getting the crib in the room, there are just a few small things I would like to get done before her big arrival. I'd love to get one more good house cleaning in, make at least one more meal to freeze, and we really need to figure out what Stella is going to do when we head to the hospital. For all the planning we've done, I can't believe I've left that one detail out.
We had an appointment today with another ultrasound. Baby Ov looks great. She's measuring a bit smaller than expected but my doctor isn't worried. Her prediction is that she'll be between 6 and 7 pounds at birth. I'm quite curious to see how close to that prediction she actually is!
We took an updated pic of me last week which is attached below. I am thankful that I still feel great. I can only hope this continues for the remaining 3 weeks!
