38 Weeks

My due date is 2 days away, so it's probably time for my 38 week update! :)  As far as real complaints go, I don't really have any. Just the normal late pregnancy stuff.  I am, however, running low on clothes!  My shirts and pants are no longer reliably covering my belly!  Even though my belly is not huge, my long torso plus belly means that I'm still outgrowing all my maternity clothes!

At my 38 week check-up, the midwife was a little concerned that I was measuring a little bit small, and sent me in for an ultrasound to check the amniotic fluid level and baby's size. After a stressful few hours waiting for my ultrasound appointment, I was very relieved to learn that both the fluid level and the baby's size are within the normal range--the smaller end of the range, but nothing to be concerned about. Whew!  Oh, and the tech reconfirmed that the baby is a girl. :)
