36 weeks

The magic date has arrived.  After Sunday 20Nov11, if I should happen to go into labor early (or pre-term rather) I don't have to go to the hospital.  I can deliver at the birthing center as planned.  Yea!

We have anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks left.  New aches and pains are popping up every day and my feet are often like little tanks.  and don't even get me started on the scary varicosities (let's hope those are temporary).   I want his lungs to be fully developed but I am ready to push him out at any time. Just say the word, baby and we will get right on that getting you to breath air thing.

Chris and I are learning new things everyday.  He's reading the natural childbirth book and his new daddy handbook and we've both been attending birthing classes.  Yesterday we both learned all about breastfeeding.  We are definitely all educated and ready to forget it all as soon as we need it.

Now let's see what I can do to make this happen by December 5th.  Pretty sure I can make it happen.  This "bump" is still measuring 2 weeks ahead.
