However, after 13 1/2 weeks of bed rest, I can officially say that I'm done. I am 37 weeks pregnant today, and my baby is considered full-term. At my ultrasound last Thursday, she was estimated at 6 lbs. 7 oz. (although those measurements can be off by quite a bit). Everything looks good.
Now the transition process begins. I don't know how much time I will have before the baby decides to make her arrival, so there is an urge to get tons of stuff done. However, after over three months on the sofa, it's easier said than done. I have to go at this bit by bit and listen to my body. Today I was able to put her clothes away in her dresser, and then I needed to relax again. I think this is mostly due to the fact that I have gotten a cold for the first time this pregnancy, though. I had been planning on celebrating this day with a haircut and a pedicure, but the weather has foiled those plans! We have almost a foot of snow, and it's not supposed to get out of the teens today!
I suppose my hopes now are to feel well by the time baby decides to make her arrival and to be able to get a little nesting done in addition to a bit of self maintanance. A week off of bed rest would be ideal, but we'll just see what happens!
Here are a few pictures of the nursery. Isaias has done a wonderful job! He even had a little helper!
