Full-Term, Baby


We made it! Baby is now full-term. 

At 37 weeks, the baby could technically come at any moment and can safely be delivered at the Birth Center. At our last visit with the midwife, we confirmed that he's head down, has dropped, and is ready to go. We think he's going to be a big, strong baby - he certainly enjoys practicing roundhouse kicks into Shannon's ribcage.

As eager as we are to meet him, we're hoping that he's comfy enough in his quarters to stay put and allow Shannon to finish up the rest of her classwork. We're definitely getting down to the wire! 



The to-do list to prepare for baby's arrival is now very short. Shannon's been extremely organized (she is a planner!) and has kept Amazon in business while Carl has proven that Dads indeed have nesting urges too. He set up the car seat, assembled the baby's swing and has kept the house clean (let's just say there was an epic couch cleaning episode last week). 

Stay tuned!
