38 and The Plug

38 weeks!

I am two weeks away from my due date, and last night I lost my plug. Well, at least part of it (not sure how big the entire thing is - sorry about TMI!). I was so excited because it means my cervix must be opening, right?? Of course I asked Dr. Google, and found that either labor is ready to begin OR it can be weeks still. It's quite possible it was loosened up at my appointment Tuesday. No way to tell at this point..so we continue to wait...

M and I met with our pediatrician yesterday. We both really like him. He gave us all his background information and we got to ask lots of questions. He seems to have a very gentle, calm demeanor. He comes highly recommended, and our OB sends his kids to him. I think we have a winner, folks! Good to know ahead of time since he'll be performing surgery on our little guy (circumcision) on his second day of life!

37!

37 weeks! Elfie is FULL TERM!!!!

Okay, little man...all those months of pep-talks about staying nice and snug inside mommy are over! I now invite (beg, plead, pray for) you to join us on the outside. I know you like it in there; I would to! I promise, though, that there are so many people who will love you, snuggle you, tickle you, read to you, teach you, and give you a wonderful life out here...it's time now for you to meet them.

Daddy and I are counting the days until we can hold you in our arms and stare at your gorgeous face! Big Sis Lola and Big Bro Charlie can't wait to give you wet kisses all over. You're going to love them!

So..anytime you are ready, we're here with open arms and hearts. Love you, munchkin!
