37 weeks...

How your baby's growing: Congratulations! Your pregnancy is now considered full term — meaning your baby is developmentally ready to handle life outside the womb. (Babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 weeks are post-term.) Your baby probably weighs a little over 6 pounds at this point and measures between 19 and 20 inches, head to heel.

Trey was born after my water broke in the 37th week. I don't think that's going to happen this time around, but I guess you never know. I went to the doctor yesterday. No news. One good thing was that he said he thinks my veins are going to take care of themselves after the delivery. They haven't gotten much worse for some time now. The last thing I want to deal with after this baby comes is surgery on my legs.

We've gotten a ton of things done this week on the "to do" lists. My husband has been pretty amazing. I went shopping yesterday with my my mom and my grandma to buy a few things we still needed for Evan. He had the boys from 8:30-4:00, changed the oil in the van, cleaned the van, installed new car seats, and cleaned the carpet in the living room and dining room. After all that he still gave me time to sleep in this morning. I'm not sleeping well at all. I can't get comfortable and my legs are a mess when I try to fall asleep. Then there's having to get up and pee every hour. So, last night I didn't really fall asleep until about 4:30am.

Holly has been over this week working on a painting on the wall in Evan's room. We love it! The boys are amazed and run in to look at it when they wake up every morning.
