Full Term?!?!

As of today, I'm 37 weeks pregnant...say what?? In the pregnancy world 37 weeks equals FULL TERM - wowza!

My doctor at my appointment yesterday: "So, you realize that your baby boy could potentially be arriving any day now, right?"

Me: "Ahhhhhh...Seriously?"

The thought that my boy could be arriving at any moment is a bit perplexing. I feel like we're ready, but at he same time I'm not 100% sure we're ready. Good thing we're spending TEN HOURS at the hospital this weekend attending our birthing class...I really hope we leave on Saturday afternoon chock-full of knowledge otherwise we may not be going back on Sunday...

I have zero desire to take time off before Raleigh's arrival so my plan is to work until I can't work anymore, BUT if someone offered me a trip to Palm Springs, I wouldn't refuse...if the travel were approved. The rain outside is driving me nuts and the thought of the summer sun rarely leaves my thoughts these days. My parents are going to Maui on Monday for 6 days and I wish so badly that I could join them...however, I'm not too keen on the thought of delivering in a Hawaiian hospital...no offense Hawaii.

Ha! Should I take offence since I was born in a Hawaiian hospital ;)? Already told you but Calum came at 37+2 and it was such a shocker, bag not packed, me not ready.... So be prepared! And enjoy your class, 10 hrs does seem a little long but I loved being armed with knowledge so I knew what was going on/what my options were. Enjoy this time before R comes and get lots of rest! x
