we are having a lovely rainy day today. jeremy had class this morning, and then we saw the midwife and ran errands together, which was really nice. his semester is winding down and as of last week, he is done with all of his major assignments and has just a few minor assignments and exams left. it is nice to have more time with him these days.
baby continues to grow and is doing well. yesterday we hit 38 weeks, so we are getting wonderfully close to meeting this little one! at my appointment this morning, i was measuring right on for 38 weeks, baby's heart rate was 148 and he is head down. our midwife said that i am a "textbook 38 weeks". good to hear. i am feeling very ready to have this baby, and at the same time, i can't believe that tomorrow is already may - the month of this baby's birthday! overall, i have really been feeling pretty good. i have times of feeling uncomfortable and of course, there's the heartburn, lack of sleep, having to pee all the time, etc...but i really feel good most of the time and don't have much to complain about. (the pic below was taken at 37 weeks...i've gotten a significantly shorter haircut since then).
we've been keeping busy around here. i have been feeling pretty energetic during the day (not so much in the evening, as i fall asleep before 10 every night!) and have been getting all kinds of projects done. actually, this morning i told jeremy that i was bored because i have cleaned everything in the whole house (including vacuuming every nook and cranny on saturday), everything is organized, and i have all of my big projects done. i've stocked the freezer with all kinds of foods and have run out of room. there's not much left to do but have the baby. then i will have plenty to do!
we've been having some good family times. we went to our local gardens and saw some butterflies. our girl was thrilled to have one perched on her finger!
on easter, we had a little egg hunt in our backyard. it was a lot of fun!
jeremy and i went out for a wonderful date on friday night. it was so nice to go out and have time with just the two of us. once the baby comes, date nights will look a little (lot!) different, so it was nice to have one last date before we have a newborn around again.
Oh wow! You are getting very close! :) All the best for your upcoming birth and those first few weeks with a newborn... I'm due with #2 in 8 weeks so will soon be in the throngs of newborn life again too! :)
