Are We There Yet..?

Here we are welcoming week 37! Only 3 Weeks to go... Boy, how time flies!

If you haven't yet delivered, you've reached the calm before the storm. You're probably monitoring your body for those first Early Labor symptoms and wondering what you've forgotten.
Your smooshed-up baby is weighing in at around 6.3 lbs and 19 inches (with boys somewhat heavier and longer than girls).
As far as their internal organs go, your adorable poop and blood factory has reached "term" - a medical term that means your sweet little bun is birth-ready and labor is welcome and normal at this point.
Despite being physically ready to land on planet Earth, your baby's immune system is quite weak and will continue to be that way for their first years of life.

I cannot believe how wonderful and supportive Chance has been through this whole pregnancy! I am so fortunate to have him as my husband/life partner. I couldn't do it without him by my side! He will be such an amazing father!!

Today is Chance's birthday, he's 22 today! Man, he's getting old ;) I wish we had something fun planned, but we don't. I guess that's what happens as ya get older! At least we'll get to spend the evening together. We really don't get enough time with each other anymore.
