37 Weeks

Well, today marks the day I'm full term and that basically means our baby's lungs are fully developed and she is healthy enough to be born any day now. Since feeling the baby drop this past Friday I've been experiencing new physical symptoms...Not all pleasant for sure but everything I'm feeling leads me to believe that labour is just around the corner. Today I'm more tired than usual though. I'm not sure why except that last night I went to bed at 2am (as per our usual time) and got up every 2 hours (bathroom) until I finally got out of bed to meet the day late this morning. Jeff and I met with our doula, Jen, this afternoon for a couple hours and that was helpful for us both. She left me with another book to read and there's a lot of information on water births which is great as that is what I'd like to have if all goes well. There's even a DVD for us to watch. Emotions and hormones are pretty intense these days and I'm very sensitive (poor Jeff). :)
