37 weeks! Holy Moly!

Well Caleb is officially full term!  I'm starting week 38 and man oh man is it hot!  We're at 20+ days over 100 degrees in a row, so I'm staying inside a lot, and sometimes I venture out to someone's pool.  :-P  I think I'm going to start walking around the half-acre backyard in the mornings.  I used to take the pups on walks earlier in my pregnancy, but being so close to the end and it being so hot, I don't think it's a good idea to be that far from home by myself in the heat anymore.  Hopefully the pups don't mind me walking around in circles.  I'm sure they'll think I'm nuts!


Just like I'm sure most new moms are, I'm a mix of anxious, nervous and excited.  I can't wait to meet the little alien who's been kicking my spleen for 9 months, but I know there's only one way to get him out!  Hopefully the delivery will go smoothly without complications.  But even if not, Heath will be there, Shelley will be there, and my doctor and nurses will be there, so I'll be ok.  Here's hoping Caleb comes sooner rather than later... it could be today, it could be a month from now!  We'll surely post pictures when the big day comes!  :-)

For now, here's a picture of me and my gigantic belly!

35 weeks... home stretch!

Well, Caleb is almost officially full term!  It's only a matter of time now  :-)  We can't wait to meet him and find out who he's going to be.  Everything is going well, I don't have much to complain about (no swelling, low BP, etc).  We had a couple of great baby showers and have everything we need... except the baby!  :-)  Here's hoping everything goes smoothly and Caleb makes his debut happy and healthy in the next few weeks!
