What day is it???

It is Monday, June 25. On Wednesday, June 27 I will be 37 weeks along in this pregnancy and considered full-term according to my doctor. So, what this means is if Baby's ready to come now he'd be allowed. And considering that he's much lower than my doctor expected him to be there is a possibility (however slight) that he could come early.

Now, after the initial shock at my appointment last week of thinking that I was going to go into labor within 24 hours, I'm much calmer and thinking more clearly. I'm still well-aware that sometimes 1st born babies do come early (I personally know at least a couple who were 10-15 days early) but I think he'll be closer to the 19th or later. There's more of a history in our families of late births than early ones.

This doesn't excuse or allow for procrastination though! Over the weekend my parents came up to help paint the nursery and I hope it's on Mr S' agenda to work on refinishing the floor this week. Next weekend we've decided to go shopping for some of the things still on our registry that we haven't received yet but consider pre-baby must-haves. Since I have off work next Monday-Wednesday, I'd like to spend much of that time organizing his room and doing a few (minor) cleaning things around the house that I know I won't be able to do once he's here. Don't worry! I promise not to overdo it!! ;) But I figure I can use the extension on the vacuum to clean up the cobwebs and dust in the ceiling corners or go through things in our basement to figure out what goes to Goodwill and what can stay (but needs a new temporary home so we can store more stuff down there). All fun stuff. :)

And with that I need to get back to work. I hope to take baby room pics tonight to poster later this week. Stay tuned! :)

Plane Crash

As I was leaving work yesterday a coworker filled me in on the very recent plane crash nearby (http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/05/lake.plane.ap/index.html). Mr. S and I were not affected by this crash, however the tragedy is very upsetting. :( Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the crash victims as well as with the patient who was to receive the organ they were transporting.
