37 weeks
According to the little floating thingy on my iGoogle page, we are 37 weeks pregnant with 22 days left to go. We are full term! Good lord! So if our little one were to decide to come out today, we’d have a fully assembled baby, ready to be packaged up and shipped home.
C is doing wonderfully. Her feet are killin her (which is understandable) and she’s getting more and more achy. But that glow is still radiating from her. I saw the stress of not having the nursery complete leave her the moment it was.
We had our 2nd and final ultrasound Thursday. It was so cool to almost be able to meet the little one. Apparently, at 8 months pregnant, its hard to get a good picture. Like trying to get a full picture by holding the camera on your nose. Baby’s estimated to be about 7 lbs right now. Doctor’s visit yesterday went well (couldn’t get them scheduled on the same day, unfortunately). No concerns. We’re still on track for July 13th. I’m still betting for July 4th. 
Today is our baby shower. I’m actually really looking forward to this. It seems to be a trend, having the daddy’s at the showers. Kk and Sk did it for Tk’s shower a couple years back (the last shower we went to that wasn’t ours).
And don’t worry, you still have time to make it to Target or Babies R Us to get us something. You can hit Target and Best Buy on the way down here from the cities, just in case. Educational videos really should be presented to a growing child in 1080P HD and Dolby 7.1 Surround. Its not for me, its for the baby. So is the iPod Touch, and the Canon EOS 1000D.
Hopefully, this was the last week of sleepless nights caused by putting the house back together for the two of us. The bedroom is back in the bedroom. All the original drapes are up. All the furniture is back in place. Only thing that’s left is to put up the drapes Oz made for the nursery (which I will certainly take pics of and post this weekend). Thursday night, I was up late working on the closet doors. It was fruitless, but check out the moon.
(Note to self - always always always have the tripod with)
This week, I also hope to get into the swing of things with this blogging. I’ve been posting these posts every Saturday morning, half awake, barely able to think. I really should update as I go, and then just proof and post Saturday morning. Maybe next week.
3 words continue to run through my head, when thinking about becoming a daddy in the coming weeks. 3 words that best sum up my mindset of this whole dang thing. 3 words that have been unassigned until now, but always in my head. 3 simple words: Ain’t it cool?
