35 and 37 weeks

Now we're getting into the melon sizes. 

35 weeks and baby boy was the size of a 5 1/4 pound honeydew.  5 more weeks to go.


Today is 37 weeks and baby boy is the size of a 6 pound mini watermelon.  Baby is officially "full term".  Yay!  He is in the head-down position now so he can come anytime.  A lot of people are asking how I am feeling now and if I feel "ready".  I think it's hard to say that I am ready yet.  If I went into labor today, I would probably feel a bit suprised and unprepared.  I still have a few more things to throw into my hospital bag and some things I want to take care of at work.  On the other hand, I am anxious to meet this baby boy, so I wouldn't mind if he did make an early appearance.  I trust that he will come in God's perfect timing and that the Lord will put me at ease when the time comes to bring him into the world.  3 more weeks to my due date!


We're not going to talk about weight gain anymore.  Let's just say I went past my goal maximum a couple days ago and it looks like I will keep on packing on the pounds until baby boy arrives.  Oh well!  As long as the baby is healthy I don't mind having a little "more to love".
