34 weeks

34 weeks.

Just 6 more to go.

Maybe.

Today we had the 34 week checkup and baby has a strong heartbeat and is in the down position, so unless he moves (i don't even want to know what that would feel like as he is SO big already), we're on track for a regular delivery. The doctor wants me to finish up the bottle of "no contraction" meds and then I'll be a little short of 36 weeks. He said at that point, given the size of my belly (and the corresponding size of the baby), it will be up to the baby to come whenever he wants.
I'm really rooting for an early October delivery since I'm so stingy with my time off from work/paid time off of work that I'll have to use, but kiddo is going to come whenever he wants to.

I turn 30 in just a few short days and am finding that I'm not as frightened about it as I once was, given that I have lots of other worrying to do (baby, work, other things). My mom is coming to town for the weekend and we'll get all of the kiddo's clothes washed and the nursery finalized. Then it's just waiting time.

E's parents are throwing another shower for us the following weekend, and I'm really excited for that too. Provided that the baby doesn't come early :)
