37 Weeks Today... Full Term Baby!!

Yay! So I am considered to be full term today! Wahoo!!  Basically this means that if the baby comes now- he wouldn't be considered a preemie. I am so excited to have made it to this point. This is a point I have dreamed about for years!

Wow- what a week! This week literally flew by me. I have NO idea where the time went.  Work was crazy this week-- conference call after conference call after conference call. Makes the days fly by.  I don't think next week will be any quieter, so I better just get used to it.  Hopefully I can get all my last minute stuff done and really feel like I am settled when it is time to go out. If I don't get it done... oh, well... I tried!

Not much on the agenda this weekend. I am hoping to be in a nesting mood tomorrow. Gary will be gone most of the day and I will be home alone.  Perfect chance to get some last minute cleaning done and to relish in the fact that this might be my second to last weekend without our little one here. Eekkk! That is so exciting (aka- scary!)!!

This week jellybean is the size of a watermelon!! YAY!! I remember all those weeks back when he was just the size of olive or a lemon or a lime... memories!! hehehe

Your full-term (yay!) baby is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day and getting his first sticky poop (called meconium) ready. He's also brushing up on skills for the outside world: blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling, and gripping (it's getting strong!).

Here is my weekly stats update:
