Today marks our 37th week of pregnancy! This is an exciting milestone because we know that Junebug (or JB as we usually call "it") is fully "cooked". All of the baby's systems are fully developed, and now we are just waiting for JB to decide when he/she wants to leave their uterine home. I've told JB numerous times today that eviction is eminent within the next 4 weeks, and he/she really needs to think about moving on out. Of course we all know that babies have their own agenda when it comes to heading out. Nathan really thinks that JB will be an early bird, but I am a skeptic. This is not to say that I would mind if JB came a week or two early, but I know the baby is way too comfortable nestling his/her feet up in my ribs.
Aside from the approximately 6 and a half pound human that I'm carrying around 24/7 I've been feeling great. After all of the horror stories that have been recounted to me about the last few weeks of pregnancy I must admit I was a little nervous. So far I still have energy, and very few aches and pains. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely harder to move around, roll over in bed at night, get in and out of the car, etc. but these are just minor annoyances I've learned to cope with. I've included a 37 week belly picture. Hopefully this will help you understand why JB is going to be evicted soon. The bambino is definitely running out of space.
Until next time...The Farleys
