"full term" baby!

37 weeks today and the baby is now considered full term. i don't imagine bud will make his/her appearance for a few more weeks but it is great to know whenever he/she arrives there is an excellent chance all systems will be ready to enter the world. this reality is something tim and i do not take lightly and are thanking the Lord for today.

i continue to feel good. i am thankful for clothes that still fit. sleeping is going well until about 5 am and then i flip back and forth, from one side to the other, until it is time to wake up. and i am making 1 or 2 trips to the bathroom during the night. there are times when i am very aware i am carrying around another person and others when i am more comfortable.

we have an appointment with the midwife today. and not much planned for the weekend. i will probably continue to work on packing my hospital bag - a task which feels bigger than it really is. tim will most likely play pick-up soccer twice. and we will go on a date! and the forecast is for sun!!

Did Anne tell you? Next time you guys are in Bellingham for the weekend, you can both play pickup soccer with Isaac and me! We play with a group of all skill levels, so it's super chill and fun. In fact, you guys should just move to Bellingham and then we could hang out all the time...
