Well, I'm officially over 37 weeks - which means full term and officially on "maternity leave!"
We had our appointment Wednesday, with ultrasound because baby is big... she was weighing in at a whopping 9 pounds! Yes, with three weeks to go. Sooooo... we're going back on Wednesday (the 13th - happy birthday Maria D!) for another ultrasound. If she's 4500 grams (that's 4.5 kilos - or about 10 pounds)... they can induce or schedule a c-section. I've battled with this decision since Wednesday, but will probably take the latter route... we'll just have to see. This is assuming she doesn't make her debut before then - which is also a possibility because I'm already dilated to a 2. Of course, all that means is that i have 8 cm to go.
So... we still haven't settled on a name... but the nursery is pretty much complete (minus a rocking chair/glider, a crib mattress, and some wall decorations)... AND the big news is that Shawn has been working super hard to get the bathroom finished and it looks awesome (even though it's not 100% just yet).
Here are some pics:

Shawn's very proud of his dresser remake (it does look pretty good, doesn't it?)
More to come soon (including bathroom and complete nursery)... keep checking in!
