37 Weeks

We did it! Thank you baby for staying put long enough so we can have our homebirth. Now to get our home ready for your arrival. We made a long list of things to do, laundry, cleaning the pool, buying birth supplies etc...and my goodness it REALLY seems real now! Still having constant pelvic pressure and hip pain so the baby is still moving down and getting ready, but no steady or regular contractions yet so I really think we still have at least a week if not more. Of course this baby could come completely differently from the way Lily and Nadia came! They do like to keep us on our toes and always guessing. I am going to try to not go into wait mode and just enjoy this last bit of pregnancy. I am going to embrace each kick and jab and poke from the inside and treasure these last weeks of being a round beautiful glowing goddess...

Congratulations! Good job little one!

Did you already have a van, or have you had to get a vehicle that can hold THREE carseats? Just curious.

I really hope i can make it to 37 weeks (Next time)... really anything more than the 30 weeks of my last pregnancy would be good.

Good Luck! and i love the new banner, and i can't wait to hear the homebirth story and see the pics!!

You're Almost THERE! i'm so excited for you!

Congratulations Reesh - The girls look like they had a great time painting your tummy. Won't be so cute if they do the same thing when the little one is out!!

Love you lots,
