Full Term.

Only 20 days left until baby pee's due date.  I had my doctor's appointment this morning and heard the best 2 words (besides healthy baby).  FULL TERM.  Our daughter is full term.  This means although we still have 20 days until she is due she would be just fine coming out to meet the world today.  Her body and organs are developed.  The doctor did an ultrasound, she still has her head down and is getting ready to meet us.  Her heartbeat was very strong.  Her head and body are looking healthy (still on the lean side).  Although based upon what the books say she should be 6.2-9.2 pounds our daughter is weighing in at 6 pounds.  She will be a little over 7 pounds if she keeps cooking in there until her due date!  A perfect size, not too big and not too small (thankful mama over here!).

My doctor did tell me it is time to stop making trips down to San Diego for work- that she would prefer I was working from home.  She did ask me why I was still working... "ummm what else would I be doing, just waiting???"  She laughed. 

I have put on 38 lbs.  With Ryan's recent weight loss (good job ryan!) he let me know today we now have a 50lb difference in weight rather than the usual 100lb difference.  Thanks for that information my love.  But as long as our daughter is healthy it's all that really matters not the numbers on the scale!  So for now I am going to continue to eat that extra cookie (and continue to try not to have a candy bar at 9:30am just because it is there like I did last week) and enjoy the last 3 weeks or so of my pregnancy before I have to start thinking about my waist again. 

Besides Ryan says (and I actually do believe him) that he is going to miss my watermelon sized belly.  He has been so supportive and I love that man!  Sorry I am being so mushy, we realized this morning 4 years ago today Ryan asked me to marry him and I just can't keep thinking about how much I love him and how thankful I am! 

Heading to dinner before the proposal! circa 2008.
