Coming to Terms with Coming to Term

So Sara and I went to the midwife on Friday for our every other week check-up only to realize that on Sunday, December 7th we'll be 37 weeks which is considered full term. It's an odd thing when they tell you the baby could come anytime now...What do you mean anytime - I thought we weren't due until the end of December?

Sara's confident she can "go the distance" which is lucky for both baby and I. For one thing, the baby seems perfectly comfy where it is and for another I'm still just mentally prepared for a Dec. 28th or later delivery.

We spent the weekend recovering from Tryptohpan and getting the nursery ready. All in all it looks pretty good. Diapers are being mailed to us as we speak and then, well, we'll just sit around waiting for the little one to make is debut.

It sort of like waiting for the Oscars, you know someone is going to win but you don't know who. We know it's going to be a baby but we don't know what sex it is. We're both pretty sure it won't look like a gold statue, though it might weigh as much.

And the winner is....stay tuned!

What kind of diapers did you guys decide on? We're contemplating that now.
