9.5 Months (38 Weeks)

Good Evening.. happy almost Friday! 

I hope you all had a great week. I think the heat is finally breaking, thank goodness! We heard the fog horn in the harbor all night last night and it was like music to our ears.  

Just when I think that I/He can't get any bigger.. he does. Apparently I am still measuring about 36 weeks but he has grown. The doc says that they go through growth spurts then stop and by now I should remain about the same weight. Still under 150 which I am happy about.. but barely! I/He is officially a Watermelon! The last fruit/veggie on the chart.. that was a big realization for me.. no more fruit?! OMG... but wait, that means?! Wow. Time sure flies when you are approaching/preparing for two of the biggest life changes.. who woulda thunk :)  

We are now 38 weeks and a couple days pregnant (but who's counting?), about 75-80% effaced and 1 cm dilated!! Progress!! Lil' Trenton could come any day now and we are SO ready for him. I have been so thankful to be on maternity leave during all of this madness and have been able to get so many things done so that I won't be (as big of a) raging lunatic when the lil' one arrives. 

The BIG news this week... WE ARE IN ESCROW and move on halloween (the same week as my parents, might I add)! I have been trying to pack a box whenever I find things that we will not need right away since I won't have much time to help pack in a week or two! That said, I have found it hard to nest, leave things comfortable and readily available yet pack to move all within weeks. Also, I went by the house today to peek at a couple things since it is vacant now and THEY TOOK ALL THE APPLIANCES! I'm talking the range and all.. not very nice.  Crap! Oh well, add it to the (rapidly growing) list of things to buy.. :-( Anyone have an extra stove or oven? I'm kidding... 

Well, until this baby comes we are knees deep in escrow papers, packing my parents house, packing our house, picking out appliances/paints/furniture etc. for our new house, making TO DO lists upon TO DO lists, trying to keep the freezer stocked for after the baby arrives but trying to use up everything in the pantry (less to move), showing our apt, doing inspections and to top it all off, my poor hubby has TONS going on in his territory at work... life is CRAZY. But, its all good stuff and we are so thankful for all that is happening in our life. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with family and friends. Who knows, maybe we will have a baby this weekend? :) If not, I see the doc on Thursday next week, which is only 5 days from my due date and we will go from there! Time to go TRY to sleep. My mind seems to keep me awake these last couple of weeks... i wonder why? G'night! 

Hugs, Tay.
