Thirty-Seven Weeks

We hit the 37-week mark on Tuesday, I got a haircut, we've got kind-of-healthy oatmeal cookies in the freezer (I substituted half whole wheat flour and added chopped walnuts, and they're still very good), and my mom and stepdad get here tomorrow. I'm hoping the baby stays put long enough for me to get a pre-baby pedicure next week (I hardly ever get pedicures, but I liked having pretty toenails when I gave birth to Arlo--the doctor who did my C-section even complimented me on them while I was being prepped!), but otherwise I think we're just about ready to meet this little guy whenever he decides to join us!

Baby #2 in Belly, 37 Weeks

I had my last routine ultrasound (because of the two-vessel cord and low PAPP-A levels) this morning, and the baby is still growing well--he's approx. 6lb, 11oz (58th percentile). We didn't get to see a good profile of his face today (space is pretty tight in there--his foot was right on top of his head!), but the ultrasound tech did note that this baby has hair, like Arlo did. Fun! He's also head down, with his back on my left side, which is the position we want him to be in, so hopefully he'll decide he likes it over there.

The weather is supposed to be beautiful this weekend. I'm excited!
