Full-term baby!





Taking a little nap... this is of his face, the top of his head is facing towards the right, and you can see his nose sticking out.



This is at Chris' cousin's wedding this weekend on Boston harbor.


So now that Christopher is 37 weeks along, he is considered full-term. While the due date is June 18th, 95% of babies are not born on their due date, so it does feel like he could come along anytime he wants now. At the doctor's visit last week, they confirmed that he is in fact head down which is great. They also estimated his weight to be about 6 lbs 12 oz, so almost 7 pounds already. They also said he's got a head of hair - maybe he'll be like me when I was born with a head of big black hair!

We're all doing well and eagerly waiting his arrival. People keep asking me if I'm nervous about the delivery and I'm not feeling nervous. I know as much about it as I can without having gone through it, and the rest we'll take as it comes. I'm not sure if I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions or if its just some discomfort since his head has turned down, but nonetheless I've heard a lot about real contractions and that its hard not very hard to recognize them. So we're just waiting now. I hope he waits until his due date or afterwards to be honest, so he's nice and big and ready!

Have a great week!

Andrea
