37 weeks...

We're nearly there!

Thankfully, I've had loads to do over the weekend and last few days so I've been fairly distracted. The days seem to be getting much quicker though, and I can't seem to fit everything in! We're pretty much ready, the hospital bag is packed and ready by the door should little one decide to make an early appearance.

This week, baby is now classed as full-term. Braxton Hicks are coming and going quite a lot too, sometimes quite painful but I think that's normal. The baby's head is engaged 3/5th's - this position clears some much-needed space for the baby's growing legs and ever growing behind! A lot of babies now have a full head of hair, with locks up to 3.5cm long! I'm pretty sure our wonder will have hair, I was quite a hairy baby. We're finding it so hard to wait now, we can feel actual limbs sticking out of my tummy and the baby is still so active. It's such a blessing!

It's a bit scary to know that in just a few weeks, a new life will be here but we are looking forward to nurturing our little one and watching them grow into everything God made them to be!
