FULL TERM!

Yep! Baby K is officially full term meaning baby is likely to thrive well after birth. He's about the size of a watermelon and is practicing his blinking, sucking, inhaling and exhaling skills. We are so excited to have made it to this milestone but hope that he still decides to stay in his little hot tub for a while longer.

I'm still feeling pretty well, just having a REALLY hard time sleeping and sometimes he gets into uncomfortable positions. Other than that, we are just anxiously awaiting to find out when our little family of four (including the two pups), will become a family of five.

I haven't had any contractions yet and the doctor said that based on everything, I should hit or pass 40 weeks. Anything could change quickly at any point though! Keep your fingers crossed for us that I make it past 40 days.... I'd like to avoid a Holiday baby if possible!

On a side note, I just want to say that I'm so thankful for my friends who check up on me daily to see how we are feeling. It's hard being up here away from everyone and having that daily reminder that there are people (other than Derek and I) who care about Baby K as much as we do makes me smile.

  1. Congrats on a full term baby!! I know what you mean about avoiding a holiday baby. Some of my students are holiday babies and they aren't too fond of it:0) I know it sounds easier than it is, but try to relax and enjoy the calm:0) Not that babies are that crazy, but it's definitely a new experience!!

  2. Don't you wonder what he is doing in there? Now I wonder if Sam threw little tantrums in my belly like he does now? Ha! Keep up the good work mom! He can cook for a few more weeks, then we will all be dying to see the little guy! Can't wait to meet him in April!
