We've made it past the sweet 37th week of pregnancy where the baby is considered full term. Now it's just a matter of keeping the baby in there as long as it wants to to strengthen those lungs, develop great digestion, and add fat under its skin. I wouldn't mind going a few days early if things get uncomfortable, which I'm sure they will, but am not very interested in being 2 weeks past! The official due date is July 19th. Rowan was three days past his due date but there is evidence to show that second babies have a gestation period 5 days less than the first. On this note I invite you all to enter your guesses (by comment or email), if you haven't already, for a little baby pool fun. Date, weight, and of course sex of the baby! The closest without going over will win something fun of course not to mention bragging rights!
I have pretty strong tidying up, cleaning, and organizing tendencies but nesting has truly clicked in. Thank you to Alan who cleaned out the bottom of the dishwasher last night! The nursery is almost read to be up and running. I am awaiting adding accessories and all things pink, like the old IKEA Rosali patterns I have, if it's a girl and will be interested in the 'Sweet Potato Domain' line at target if it's a boy. After we add some more haute pocket cloth diapers to the mix we should be all set! Bring on baby!
