And if Baby Wasn't Enough...

As if there wasn't enough of a change in our future, Joe decided to make another big leap. He started a new job today with his previous employer, Questar. Of course he wasn't planning on taking a new job right before Baby, but they came a knockin' with an exciting opportunity for him. Questar is a market research company in Eagan and Joe is their new Vice President of Business and Product Development.

Congratulations Joe/Daddy! We're so proud of you!

Full Term!

Okay, we'll be officially full term in 2 days. And as exciting as that is, it does mean that we could still have another 3-4 weeks to go, which, at this point, is sounding a bit longer than I would like to wait. Don't get me wrong. For the most part, I have actually loved being pregnant. It really is a miraculous experience. But I've hit that point that everyone warned me of; that last month of pregnancy, and I'm getting pretty uncomforable.

The good news is that Baby is now facing head down which we weren't sure he was going to do. We had an ultrasound last week to check on his position and it was so cool to see an ultrasound with him fully developed. He's looking pretty cramped in there, and with good reason as they estimated his weight to be approximately 6 lbs. 7 oz. (right on track for where he should be). During the ultrasound they also verified that he is definitely still a boy (Daddy is so proud) and they also think they can see some hair, which I didn't even know you could see on an ultrasound. Amazing.

And now we just play the waiting game. It's good to know that we've reached that safe stage for delivery. If anyone has any tips on getting labor started, I'm all ears. :-) We'll now be going into the doctor every week to check my progress and hopefully we'll be posting some cute little baby pictures soon!

In the meantime, here's my big 'ol belly.

35 weeks...getting huge

37 Weeks - Look at how much he's dropped! That means the time's getting closer...
