38 weeks

Today marks 38 weeks with monkey #2 in my belleh. I had a long day at work and then went to my doctor appointment at 5pm while Adam and Morgan were in charge of dinner. :)

Get this - almost NO change since 2 weeks ago. :-/ Still 1cm but am now 80% effaced instead of "just 70%." That said, my midwife was very sure that I'd go by this weekend. SO very sure. I was polite about it but told her I'd likely be seeing her on Monday at my next appointment. Not a huge deal as I still have work things to do, but at the very same time if I went tomorrow, I don't think I'd be freaking out about it like I was last week. Maybe after report cards are done though...2 IEP meetings today and one every day this week except Friday. Then 4 more next week...sigh.

I hope I don't go all the way to my due date but for several reasons. I'm terribly curious to find out what it would be like to go into labor naturally and also b/c I just don't feel like working sometimes when all I can think about is my family and how the baby's arrival is going to change things - for the better.

We finished up the Baby's room tonight. Adam hung the curtain rods and valances, and I hung the three animals above her dresser. It totally topped off the room and all that's left are the decals that Grandma Susie will put up when she gets here after the baby's born.

I clearly have baby on the brain. I should really pack and just can't bring myself to go downstairs and get the things I would like. I know we brought wayyy too much stuff last time so we're going minimal this time...

Annnddd....attention is lacking so I'll stop. At the most, two weeks from today, we should have twogirls in the Schmidt household. Love.
