"Congratulations!
Your pregnancy is now considered full term — meaning your baby is developmentally ready to handle life outside the womb. (Babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 weeks are post-term.)
Your baby probably weighs a little over 6 pounds at this point and measures between 19 and 20 inches, head to heel."
——from our weekly baby e-newsletter
Wow. Pretty cool, huh? So, we're getting ready. The crib is going back up in Max's room this morning (well, Max & Liam's room). Two weeks ago Max got his "bigger big boy bed" which is a twin on a wooden frame we got from the neighbor who was moving and didn't need it anymore.
It's embarrassing, but it took us something like 10 days to find a cheap twin mattress in Denver. This despite having a nationwide mattress mfgr called "The Denver Mattress Company" based here. Sheesh...
So, things are rolling along. My good friend Janice "Space Cadet" Houston is having her first child this week (maybe this past weekend, I'll have to check my email!) and all signs are go, so it's definitely baby season.
I even mashed up a banana to add to plain yoghurt for the first time since monkey-mashing for Max's early breakfasts when he ate the soft stuff, probably more than a year ago.
Yep, it's definitely baby season! And Kathy's looking forward to just 9 more days of work before some much-deserved time off. From getting paid to work, that is.
Anyway, this is just to alert everyone that I'll probably miss a day or two of blogs unless the baby conveniently arrives Friday night (scheduled for Saturday the 25th of September). And, of course, blogs could be very sappy and baby-oriented for a while.
:-)
