Full Term!

I've made it to 37 weeks and Baby K is officially considered FULL TERM (yay)!! His lungs are likely developed enough to function outside of the womb.  Don't get me wrong...we still have a over 3 weeks to go and lots to do!  Baby K is probably weighing in at a little over 6 pounds and is around 19 inches long (the size of a swiss chard?) - see below.  

Or a watermelon (I think I like this comparison better although I cannot imagine this fitting in my stomach).

 

We had our pre-admission appointment at the hospital this week which makes everything feel a little bit more real!! Also, my doctor's appointments are now scheduled once a week vs. every other week. So far everything has been great aside from the carpal tunnel in my hands as mentioned before. They are constantly swollen, throbbing and tingly (much worse at night when I am trying to sleep). I think it's nature's way of preparing me for a lack of sleep once Baby K arrives (I've gotten to know the 2am TV schedule far too well..ugh). The important thing is baby is doing great. His heartbeat is strong (usually in the 140s or 150s) and seems to be right on track growth-wise. He is also already in the head-down, birth-ready position yay!

In other news, Patrick and I have officially moved out and into our own apartment in Lawrence. Let the nesting begin! We still have so much to do but have made great strides getting things unpacked and continuing to set up the nursery. The apartment is definitely smaller than our condo in Scottsdale so we are having to get creative with space and storage. Hopefully we can get everything done in 3 weeks! Starting to panic just a little bit....

Molly, Pat, Ruby & Tyson moved out as well so I think my parent's are going through another round of empty nesting;) Here are some fun "roomie photos" from our summer at home.
