36 Weeks

I am now 36 weeks pregnant and getting pretty uncomfortable. Lets just say I can't wait to easily tie my shoes again!

I can't believe the baby will be considered full term in only one week (37-40 weeks is full-term)! Nathan is hoping Brendan will cook for the full 40 weeks but I will be ready anytime after Christmas!

Doctor's Appointment - 35 Weeks

I am now seeing the doctor every week. This week they checked me for the first time to see if I was dilated. As of Tuesday, I am 75% effaced and 1 cm dilated (for those of you who know what that means). I should be 100% effaced and 10 cm dilated during labor so my body has started to prepare for Brendan's birthday. This doesn't mean the baby is going to come early but it does mean everything is progressing (which is good). I hope this is not too much information for some of you! I have a doctor' appointment next Wednesday so we will see if anything changes this next week.

We are getting very excited! Last night I made my last run out to Babies R Us to pick up my last minute items that I think we will need. I didn't have to get very much stuff because our family & friends have been very generous with very thoughtful gifts! Thank you to everyone who has helped us prepare for our bundle of joy!

35 Weeks

Only 5 more weeks until D Day! This weekend my sister-in-law Shelly threw us a baby shower at The Melting Pot (one of my favorite places) in Seattle. The belly shot below is from Saturday at the Copacabana (our Whidbey Island Cabin) and the picture below that is the suit that Grandpa & Grandma Cano got for Brendan. Our baby boy is going to be a little business man just like his Daddy and Grandpa!
