37 weeks!

We've officially reached "term!" Basically what that means is that from now until 42 weeks this baby will be considered fullterm. After that point he will be postterm. And before that he was preterm. You get the idea. :)

We're getting very excited and anxious for his arrival, and practicing our lamaze breathing at nights. I really think that will help - we've been very fortunate to have a great class and instructor. I know others have not had as positive of an experience as we have had.

Below are the latest pictures. Sorry for the lack of head shots - I just don't feel like it right now! Again, *warning* these are bare-belly pictures and if you don't like stretch marks don't look!! They personally no longer bother me. Really - I'm having a baby. Which is more important...the fact that I have stretch marks or I am being blessed with a child? When you look at it like that they just don't seem to matter anymore.

I'm definitely carrying lower by the day I think. The pressure I'm getting used to, but the charley horse sensations still are not great fun. (Round ligament pain they say ... I just say it hurts!)

We've had lots of interesting weather here the last 2 weeks - and again today. Tornadoes have been all over northern WI and Rhinelander has luckily been spared. South and north of us have not been as fortunate and even Wausau, the main city in this area, was hit downtown today. We're still waiting for word on whether there was any major damage or not, but still quite scary as Jeremy's dad was flying into Wausau at 4 today! He made it safely and they are on their way back to Grandma's in Clintonville - which also had another tornado today. Scary stuff.

The whole house situation is done and over with. Thanks for the kind words! We're just letting it go. We've reached that "Oh whatever who cares" stage and that's fine with us. God lead us to Mayville and He's not going to leave us out on the street. :)

Have a wonderful weekend! HOPEFULLY I WILL TOO!! (hint hint.)

TTFN.
