The Final Four!

Today is day number 251 and I'm 36 weeks pregnant!
I have 29 days or 4 weeks left, and I am 90.0% of the way there.
Can you believe it!?!

Norah probably has added another half pound and now weighs about 6 pounds, measures around 20.7 inches in length, and is almost ready to check out of "Hotel Mom." She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the creamy substance that covered and protected her skin during its submersion in amniotic fluid. She swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, which will stay in her bowels until birth. This blackish mixture, called meconium, will become her first bowel movement. By the end of this week Norah will be considered "full-term" - crazy to think!


We are in the FINAL FOUR weeks of being pregnant. I cannot believe how quickly time has gone. I had an appointment today and things are going in the right direction. I am 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. I will keep you updated on the progress! =) Seth and I are going on our 2 year anniversary trip this upcoming weekend. We have booked a hotel in St. Augustine, FL. We are so excited to be able to get away for one last time before we expand our family. I sure hope Norah will wait to make her entrance into the world until after we celebrate our anniversary! After that she is free to come whenever she wants. I also had my baby shower on Saturday. It was so much fun and such a blessing. I will post about that soon...


Thank you all for your continued prayers!
Love you all!
