Full Term!

Today I am officially 37 weeks pregnant and Full Term! So now this baby can come anytime and won't technically be early.
Natalie was born at 38weeks 5 days...so if this baby follows suit she'll be born March 24....but she could come earlier.

I'm feeling really well, still sleeping pretty well, having contractions off and on but nothing time able or really strong. I'm excited to have my appointment on Tuesday to see if I've made any progress from my 36 week appt where I was not dilated at all but was soft.

Even crazier than being full term, is that we really aren't prepared for this kids arrival at all. By this time with Natalie we had the car seat in the car, hospital bag packed, clothes washed and put away etc etc...we were just waiting for her to get here. But this time, the newborn clothes are in piles in the girls room, the car seat is in pieces after being washed, the bassinet isn't set up...nothing. I feel a bit guilty at my lack of preparation for this child...but I keep justifying it by saying I can get it all done before I go to the hospital and babies don't' need much...which may be true....but I still feel bad.

At any rate, I did finally buy some diapers so at least this kid won't just be peeing and pooping on herself...so I consider that an achievement.
