Full term!

Last week's pic.

So I am now 37 weeks!  That means I am officially "full term", although I still have 21 days until the due date.  Most likely if he were born now he'd be fine and able to breath on his own, but of course some babies need longer so we want him to stay in until he's ready :)  Should be about 6 1/3lb and 19" or so long.

This week, I had an appointment with Cassandra, one of the midwives, at their new location with OSU.  So the great thing is that now I have seen them in their new location, I can be delivered by them instead of the Dr that was at their old office, which is who would have had to deliver me if I'd gone into labor before Tuesday.  So YAY!!!  Also Andy is done with his midterms today, so we've gotten past two huge hurdles that I wanted to get past.  

I have been feeling pretty good still, although definitely starting to get more uncomfortable.  My hips (really more the lower parts of my pelvis) and tailbone are sore, especially after I've been sitting for a while.  My lower back is getting weird, my vertebrae are cracking all the time.  My ribs get sore by the afternoon.  Heartburn has been better which I assume is because he's probably moving down some.  He jabbed me at work yesterday morning in a way that made me yelp out loud!! 

So, I know I just complained a whole bunch, but it's all pretty mild, and reference the above stats, I have a baby that weighs over 6lb and is 19" long in there, I think him making me feel like that's pretty understandable :)

I am feeling pretty ready for him now!  We have almost everything we need, and are getting anxious for his arrival :)
