Baby on the way

So, today marked Week 37 in the pregnancy march. Officially, that is considered full term. Practically, it means that in all likelihood, this baby will be born sometime within the next five weeks. Meredith wants to know exactly when her baby sister will be born. So do we!

In the last two weeks, we've had some concern over the girl's position. (She was transverse, i.e. sideways.) Going to the hospital today, we got some good news in that she finally has moved into the correct, head-down position. So as long as she stays put, we can avoid a breach situation.

It's cold and icy here. We hope the baby, whenever she is born, will not have to endure too much winter. Even more so, we hope for the ice to be gone soon. The two snow storms that dumped on us last week have left quite the scenery of icy sidewalks and streets, corners with poor visibility due to high snow banks, and sore backs from shoveling. I love living here, but it is true that it is despite the winter climate.

When the girl is born, we'll post the details here in short order. I don't believe the hospital has public wireless Internet access, so there will be a little delay. :)
