Week 38!!

Well...things are coming down to the wire now.  We are finally at week 38 and ready for the pregnancy journey to be over and the parenting journey to begin!!  Olivia is still moving a ton...my belly rolls and rolls and rolls with her movements.  Jay says she looks like she dropped some but I can't tell that she has.  She has been pushing into my left hand side right under my chest...pushing pretty bad there.  I have to sit straight up to keep it from killing me.  Usually I am walking around so that she is not quite as far up.  I slept in the recliner last night so that it would push her down a bit.  I am ready, ready, ready to have my baby and body back!!!

So...here is what week 38 has in store for us:
Olivia should weigh about 6.8 pounds now and be about 19.5 inches long.  She has plumped up!!  She now has a firm grasp and her organs have matured.  She is ready to live outside the womb!!

We head back to the doctor on Wednesday for another update.  Hopefully the contractions will start tomorrow and we won't need that appointment!!  Our new camera is supposed to be here tomorrow...so I am hoping the process will start shortly before it arrives or right after so that we will be able to take good pics!!

Alright...going to walk around now so that I can get this leg, foot, knee, or whatever it is out of my ribs!!  I hope the next post I do has pics of our new baby girl!!!
