Today is 36 weeks! Pretty exciting. We are getting down to the nitty gritty now. We waited a bit long to hire a doula, but we still have a few options. We are setting up meetings with them now. Aside from that, I am pretty sure we are ready. We at least have all the “stuff”, and what a lot of stuff it is! I realize we didn’t have to get it all before the baby comes, but it just seemed easier to have it off my mind and to be able to not leave the house for the next 2 months, if thats what fancied me. 

Things to do this week (baby related):

Pack my bags, make sure the car seat fits in the car, take professional pregnancy photos, finish doing baby laundry, hang decorative robots

According to Baby Center…

“Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He’s shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of his first bowel movement.

At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term.” Yay!

The restaurant printed up a couple menus just for us…

The meal was delicious, and I somehow found room for 3 courses and glass of Navarro Vineyards Gewürztraminer grape juice. 

Its our second anniversary today! We will be celebrating by going to Quince for dinner this evening. It seemed like we should go out to a fancy restaurant while we still could, though I’m a tad concerned about how much tasty food I’ll be able to fit into my belly! 

Dallas’ new do!  (its grass)

I couldn’t wait any longer to bake up one of the tiny jar plum pies I made yesterday. Here is a photo of it just out of the oven.  Yummy!
