Approaching 37 Weeks!

Here I am on July 3 on our front porch before leaving for a potluck at my sister-in-law Roxanne's house. I am about 36 weeks & 2 days along in my pregnancy and looking quite big. My waist is measuring a substantial 45" these days and growing. Baby boy is stretching me out! Oh, the pangs of pregnancy!! I've been so exhausted & so out of breath lately, too, no matter what I'm doing whether it's just standing or walking for a few minutes. I have found some rest though in a rocking chair we purchased off of Craigs List for only $40. It'll come in handy after baby is born during feeding times.

I am continuing to rest and "nest" awaiting for the baby's arrival soon since Dr. Lai says that he might be here sooner than later. We can't wait to meet him finally!

Last Ultrasound for Baby

On Friday, July 2, Rommel and I had our last ultrasound for baby at the doctor's office. The technician confirmed that baby is most definitely a BOY! Thank goodness because everything we have bought for baby so far is centered around a little boy theme & colors! The ultrasound also indicated that the baby is healthy and doing well and is currently a whopping 7 lbs. 9 oz! Our baby boy is a big one! Dr. Lai also told us that I am about 1 cm. dilated already & 80% effaced, which means that baby might be coming in a week or 2 weeks (sooner than our due date of July 30)! With the baby weighing so much as the ultrasound indicates, maybe an early delivery is much better for me. In any case, I am not ready for baby boy yet. I still have more "nesting" to do.
