say what?
Our ultrasound today showed the baby potentially weighing 8 lbs and 15 oz. Despite all the modern technology, that guess could be off a pound either way. I am very much hoping we are closer to 8 and not 10. With 2.5 weeks to go, the baby could gain another pound too... Only option is to wait and see! I'm hoping baby tells us when he/she is ready (maybe a bit on the early side) and I have the strength to get through labor ... no need for induction or c-section necessary. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

stuff I'm putting off
Seems like I should have made these decisions made by now...
Other big thing to do this week is get the car seat base in the car and checked out.
Meanwhile, the nursery is 75% done. We're getting our rocking chair upholstered, and Ben is finishing the mural. Then just add baby. It's fun to hang out in there and imagine our little one.
- Where the heck I'm delivering. We took another hospital tour today and I still can't decide. I guess I'm used to the hospital where my mom works having spent so much time there growing up. I have all these visions in my mind of what labor and delivery/post partum should look like. Nothing is measuring up.
- Who our pediatrician will be. We've narrowed it down to a few doctors within a practice. I'm going to try a "new mommy" interview this week.

3.5 weeks...not that I'm counting
I had my first weekly appointment yesterday and everything is right on schedule. My doctor is sending me for another ultrasound on Monday to get a better idea of how big the baby is...
We're as ready as we'll ever be at this point, but not in a hurry necessarily for the baby to arrive. He/she will come when ready (or so I keep telling myself).
We still have some work to do in the nursery. The floor, trim and baseboards are done and looking so so great. Ben did such a good job. The mural is in progress. I promise I will post photos soon!
The names are mostly decided. We're still not 100% sure, but I think we'll know the right decision once the baby arrives...right?
