Full Term!

Since today is our anniversary, I thought I'd start out by giving Tim a shout out. He has been such a loving, patient, and helpful husband throughout this pregnancy and I am just so grateful to have him in my life. Hannah is so lucky to have him for a daddy as I know he will be wonderful with her as well. He already has so many ideas of fun things to do with her, teach her, and show her.

Tim has been especially amazing these last few days since my fall. I have had to rely on him completely and he has stepped up to the plate. As for the update on me, thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery. It was quite scary for Tim and I, but I am slowly making progress. I can now walk on my own, slowly, but still on my own. I can also go up and down stairs. When I am sitting I am not in pain. It is still really difficult for me to do things that require a lot of inner thigh/groin muscles such as lifting my legs to put on pants, climbing into a shower, or getting in and out of a car. Hopefully I will have a little more time to heal before I need those muscles to push out the baby. But if not, Tim reminds me that with the epidural I won't feel anything anyway.

Now for the Hannah update! Not only did she get spoiled with a delicious Ruth's Chris steak dinner tonight, but she is officially FULL TERM. That is right, 37-40 weeks is considered full term and she is 37 weeks. It's basically over and now we patiently wait. We are so excited and absolutely dying to see what she looks like. We had our appointment today and she is looking good. They had me on the heart monitor for 30 minutes and checked the amniotic fluid which is still looking good. Today's ultrasound measurement came in at 7 lbs. 2 oz. He said that her femur bone is really long so he thinks she is just tall not chunky. Sounds like she has some Tatum height (good for a ballerina or a basketball player) either of which I'm okay with, but you all know what I'm rooting for:) Could be any day now, the wait continues....
