Today we are at 36 Weeks and 2 Days - we have 3 Weeks and 5 days to go!
Our baby is as big as a watermelon (19 to 22 inches and 6.5 lbs)
Our pregnancy is technically considered full-term - which means I could safely go into labor any day now. The baby is still growing and can gain about half a ounce per day.
Our baby is a busy girl. She is simulating breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, sucking on her thumb, blinking, and pivoting from side to side.
Are we ready??? We are at home. The room looks great, clothes are washed, our car is getting cleaned for when we put her car-seat in, and we've been preparing Alexis to be a gentle Big Sister.
I'm going to the doctor's weekly now and even have to have non-stress tests done twice a week at the hospital. (Believe it or not, that's because I'm over the age of 35.)
As far as if Ben and I are ready? Well, we're as ready as we'll ever be. It hard to believe our next baby girl will be joining us so soon. This pregnancy has gone so fast. We are ready to meet her, but still very anxious. Everyone asks if we've decided on a name? Unlike with Alexis, we still have a list of names and have not made a decision yet. I hope it's true that when we see her, we will know!
We'll keep you all posted!
