Week 37 Stats
My weight: Still 179 (yay!)
Baby Weight: 6 1/2 to 7lbs per midwife
We had a very productive midwife appointment yesterday. The midwife thinks the baby is around 6 1/2 to 7lbs right now. Not a huge baby, he will be about 8 to 8 1/2 lbs if we go to 40 weeks. Since the midwives use December 18th as my 40 weeks they will let me go until Christmas which may even mean a 9 to 9 1/2lb baby. I would prefer the baby be here between December 8th to 18th. I brought up the option of inducing prior to the 25th last night and she didn't say no :) Our next appointment is on December 8th, and if I am dialated at that appointment we are going to talk about different options to help labor come early. The baby is still "Way down" so I am hoping we don't need help with an early labor and he will do it all on his own.
On the homefront, we got a lot done this weekend. I say "we" meaning Matt. I did what I could, but ripping up carpet, tearing up baseboards, moving furniture, and then crawling around painting baseboards really wasn't up my alley. I helped by doing the sweeping and cleaning when he was done. We also picked out the tile and will have the tiler here next Monday. We are going to leave our current furniture in the house for the holiday weekend and then next week it will be out in the trash! It was amazing how much dust and dirt was underneath the carpet. I am so glad we took it out before the little one gets here. It will much healthier for us all.
Only a couple of days until Rachel and Max are here. We will be spending the weekend sightseeing, even going to a rodeo at the White Stallion Ranch on Saturday. It's supposed to be chilly here this weekend, at least chill for us. It will be nice to be able to cuddle in a sweatshirt and have a fire in our chimenea.
Can you believe we are down to 18 days!!!
