37 Weeks

I am now officially full term in my pregnancy, but that doesn't mean that the baby will come right away.  There is a 5 week window when you hit full term which is anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks.

This morning Jenni, our midwife came to our house for a home visit.  She did a mini tour of our house just to know what to expect and then did the regular check-ups.  
My belly is 37 cm which is what it should be, my blood pressure is 108 over 58, we heard the baby's heart beat for the first time through the stethoscope.  (Normally we have to use the doppler).  My protein levels were normal as were my calcium.  Plus, I found out I am negative for group B strep.  http://www.childbirth.org/articles/GBS.html

The baby is head down and the birthday is getting closer!
