39 Weeks
Okay, I'm a bad little blogger. Totally skipped over last week. I know, I'm on maternity leave, so what possible excuse do I have??? Well I'll offer a few, but the sum of it is, is I think it unlikely anyone wants to hear anymore about housework which is what my days are consumed with. The good news: our kitchen is DONE. My range is being delivered tomorrow morning and that is it folks. Finito. Finally!
On the baby front - had an appointment on Wednesday and everything looks perfect. She's measuring right on schedule. She's already dropped into proper position and now it's just a matter of time. I'm hoping for sooner than later as I enjoy frequent nerve pains down my butt or legs, can't turn in bed, and can't be active for more than a hour or two at a time without absolutely having to sit down and relax for another hour just to recuperate. Not how I like to operate! I have things to do! But all said, I really can't complain all that much. I hear some women are down right miserable at this point. I can't say I'm miserable, just inconvenienced.
Not much else new to share. I have another appointment with the midwife on Wednesday, if I'm not in labor before then . . . we shall see.
Happy SuperBowl to everyone!

37 Weeks = Term!
We are officially term. No more possible premie for this little one, and do I believe it. I think I'm getting bigger my the hour. Entirely possible as she's theoretically gaining an ounce a day. Seeing as I have 23 days until she's "due", that means another pound and a half of baby to carry around - and then have to push out . . . . So, yeah, I'm not nervous about that or anything. Feeling pretty good overall. Just really big and awkward. Mornings are much better for me than evenings so I try to get most active things accomplished by 1 or 2. Yesterday, I even took a nap. What a luxury!
Good news on the nursery and kitchen front. The kitchen should be done by middle of next week. What a relief. Will start putting back some things into the upper cabinets today and also start on cleaning up the dust that has settled into every nook and cranny in the front of the house. Daunting task, but must be done! Also, the nursery now looks like a nursery. Jen and Seth were kind enough to assemble my changing table for me, and Justin and I put together the crib this weekend (see pic at left). Looking very cute and almost usable. Another week and I should have it all ship shape. I am SO thankful I don't have to be at work!
Lots of love,
