Well, it is 5 days until my due date (October 7).
It's been a busy couple months. Everything is ready. I've been off of work for more than a week now, which is nice. I have only gotten bored once. So far I've just been cleaning and organizing and tidying. The nursery is all ready. We have a downstairs napping/changing station as well thanks to a playyard. We've had 5 baby showers -- one at each mother's, one at my work with the office and a surprise one over video-conference with the east coast admins and also a surprise one at church! Lots of fun! We have plenty of Pooh-Bear themed outfits and blankets and things for the bedroom. I'll try to get some nursery photos up, but here is one of me loading up the dresser/changing table.
I know you want to see some more belly pics. Here I am at about 34 weeks:
That's about when we found out that the baby was transverse (sideways) which is a type of breech presentation but really can't be delivered because while babies can come out butt- or feet-first, they really can't come out sideways. So I tried various things to get the baby to turn. Crawling around on hands and knees, playing music down near my pelvis, having Jen talk to the baby near my pelvis, putting an ice pack near the head to get the baby to move away from the cold, and this fun thing:
I don't know if any of those really helped, but by 36 weeks the baby had turned head down. Here I am at 36 weeks:
The baby is head down, but face up at the moment. I'm not worried about that though because babies will turn during labor, though it might take a little longer. :)
Here I am today with a frontal shot! No stretch marks (yet) though I do have a cat scratch and a faint linea negra (and my bellybutton is off-center).
Man, I need to brush my hair. That's what happens when you get off of work 2 weeks before your due date. You stop brushing your hair.
I'll try to post another picture from on my due date if the baby isn't here yet. Then I'll be starting a new picasa album just for the baby!
