Pregnancy at Term - the home stretch

Today as I'm watching the closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics on TV (what an interesting 2 weeks), Finn is officially "at term" and probably somewhere between 6 1/2 and 7 pounds - but lets say closer to 6 1/2 shall we? The belly has stretched out even more and my belly button is just about to pop - finally!! I still don't have stretch marks or cankles, but fear not, I still have 3 weeks to go (lets hope not 4)!

Will is off to the US for a *quick* business trip and will be back this Friday to wait out the final weeks until Finn decides he would like to make his appearance. It made me a bit nervous that Will was leaving but Finn seems rather comfortable right up against my ribcage so that I don't think he is coming any earlier than September.

Again I do have to marvel at this baby brain thing. I am in my own la la land am going with the flow (totally unlike me). Granted, I have had my moments of weakness and hormone overdrive that has lead to some whining on my part, but figure that will be short-lived once the kiddo shows up. It will ALL be worth it - isn't that what everyone says - I say I just won't have time for that as I will be in "spoiling the kid" mode and "trying to find sleep time for mama" mode.
