Well, we have officially finished weeks 35...
And week 36...
...and are starting week 37 today! At the end of this week, Carter will be considered full term. Hallelujah - the end is in sight! My doctor started checking me this week, and we found out that I was 1 - 1.5cm dilated and just a little bit effaced. It doesn't really mean anything...apparently people walk around dilated for weeks before the baby is born. But, it was at least nice to hear that my body is moving in the right direction! My weight dropped a little this week (which was SO odd to see after 8 1/2 months of watching it climb) so we are doing a sonogram next week to make sure Carter's growth is still on track and to check the fluid levels. We are looking forward to seeing our little grey blob one last time before he is officially out and in our arms in color!
We have just gotten home from Baby Care class...Blake was thrilled to be there and loved every minute. ;)
Blake also made his first clothing purchase for the little man this week. Such a sweet daddy gesture! It will be very useful for Carter's second football season...if I allow it.
We are looking forward to a busy weekend of family and friends as we see Uncle Stewart, Aunt Gillean, and my nephew Pearson tomorrow night and celebrate my baby shower on Saturday. I am so excited to see all my sweet friends and to celebrate this little guy! My work baby shower is also this coming Tuesday so I will have lots more fun stuff to post after all of that! I have the greatest friends in the world. :)
