Full Moons & 5 weeks

It is hard to believe that we are down to 5 weeks to Pete's due date. On Friday, we were at 35 weeks pregnant and 35 days left to the due date. I thought that was kind of cool. For some reason 35 days left seems so much shorted compared to 5 weeks left.

We went in for our 3rd trimester ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. Pete was so scrunched up, his big open space of long ago has gotten smaller. The sonographer had a hard time getting all his measurements. But, he did estimate that Pete was 5 1/2 (at that time), and his head and abdomen was measuring a week ahead, while his legs were measuring right on schedule. Because Pete was so bunched up, these are the only pictures we were able to get.


We have finished our child birth classes and all the hospital paper work is filled out. So, when Pete does decide to come, we don't have to think about filling out all the paperwork!

One of my closest friends brought up the full moon effect. So, to my calendar I went and found that the next full moon is Sept. 5, which happens to be week 37 (for those who don't know, doctors consider any time after week 37 to be full-term). It is possible that Pete may come that early! Josh has threaten to put me on bed rest that day...though I am not sure how much being on bed rest would stop gravitational pull! It is all mystery as to when Pete will make his entrance.

The nursery is all set up, though not fully decorated. At this point, that is just fine-I doubt Pete will care. We are slowly adding to our baby items, a little at a time. This coming Sunday, our ABF (Sunday School class) is throwing a diaper shower for us. Hopefully, we will be able to add to cloth diaper stash. We do have some disposable diapers to help fill in the gaps, and till we know which diaper we really like. Once we know, then we will buy the rest of our diapers.

Here some pics that we took yesterday at church. We didn't have much time, as I forgot to bring extra batteries, and we were racing against dying batteries!
