I'm a bit hesitant to post these, as they are very unflattering, but why stop now? I feel like I'm getting bigger every day (which I probably am). I thought about taking weekly pictures from here on out, but after seeing these, I'm not in a hurry to take more any time soon :) Without further ado, the week 36 pictures:
We entered the 37th week on Monday (JBird is now the length of swiss chard!), which is what my yoga teacher calls "Due Time". In other words, the baby is considered full term and can come any day now. I didn't know this before, but there is actually a 5 week window from the 37th week to the 42nd where the baby can be born (the due date is the beginning of week 40), and only 2% of babies are delivered on their due date. Good thing I like surprises!
Everyone keeps asking if I'm ready, and I really think that I am (and not just because I now frequently get kicked in the ribs and punched in the bladder at the same time!). The room is pretty much ready to go, the car seat is installed in the car, the diaper bag is packed, and we have a freezer full of pre-made dinners for when we come home. Tonight, we're taking a tour of the hospital so we'll know were to park, register, etc. Surprisingly, I'm not even that worried about the delivery (even after hearing about my co-worker's wife going through 17 hours of labor followed by a C-Section a couple of weeks ago!). I'm just ready.
