Less than one week to go (supposedly!)
I cannot believe how fast the past 9 months have gone by!! I'm now only 5 days away from my due date, although the Dr said most first time pregnancies are about a week late.
As of last Wednesday, I was about one cm dilated. I have not felt any contractions and do not have any other early signs of labor. I still feel good, other than recent pressure on my low back/sciatica as the baby drops lower. I'm still exercising regularly (and get some funny double takes at the gym!) and am sleeping well. I'm feeling a bit tired, but still have a decent amount of energy.
I'm on my second week of maternity leave, which has been great! I was too productive last week and completed my long checklist of last minute things to get done, so I may get bored this week (but hopefully will be able to enjoy just being lazy!!).
We are ready to meet our little bundle of joy!

35 Weeks
We went to the doctor this week and had an ultrasound to view the baby's position. Luckily, he is in the head down position, which means I should be able to avoid a c-section- yay!
He is still predicted to be average weight when born, but it looks like he may be taller than the average baby, based on measurements the Dr took of his femur bone.
The baby's room is being painted today, and then we'll be able to start putting it together :)
Time is going by too quickly, as I feel like I have a lot to wrap up at work before going on maternity leave. At the same time, I cannot wait for the baby to arrive- we are very excited to meet our little one!!
I'm still feeling good, but beginning to get a bit more tired these days. I'm sure that is partly due to keeping myself quite busy, but I'm certainly looking forward to maternity leave when I don't have to wake up to an alarm. I'm still trying to stay active by walking, going to the gym, or doing pre-natal yoga. I've put on 18 pounds total so far, and am beginning to get uncomfortable when bending over to tie my shoes.
We have a full day crash course this weekend on "Childbirth Preparation", so I'm sure we will be enlightened about the next steps in this process!
