The Last Bumpdate

I am 37 weeks today – technically full-term.  Whew!  I feel like I have been pregnant for 5 years.  This has been long and it is still not over but I tell you, I cannot wait for my little man to meet me in the outside world.  I had a Dr.s’ appointment today and it looks like we are not going to my due date.  We’ll have the little one by 39 weeks if not sooner.  Yee haw!  Baby Dax looks great and passed his BioPhysical today.  He’s had 4 and he’s always passed immediately.  Already an overachiever.  I am measuring a week behind but again, all is good.  Looking forward to my 75th sono next week so I can see my baby yet again.  Hopefully I don’t go into labor before that.  My apartment is a disaster.  The nesting gene, I do not have apparently.  We did set-up baby’s bassinet and all his clothing and blankets are washed and waiting.  My last day of work is next Friday.  Anticipation…
Sorry so late with the bumpdate.  Here is last week – 36 weeks and this is the last one:

  Happy but moody sometimes.
Looking forward to:  Finishing settling in the apartment so I can relax before this baby comes!
