Full term at 37 weeks

Well, as of today, I'm considered to be at full term, so there's something reassuring--even if it's just a mental thing--about that. I'm still feeling pretty good overall, and I consider myself very fortunate to feel this good late in pregnancy when I know a lot of women become completely miserable. I've got my occasional complaints, sure, but since I really had it pretty bad in the beginning, I'm trying to appreciate the fact that things are pretty good now.

My 37-week appointment isn't until tomorrow afternoon, so I'll update after then.

I know exactly what you mean about the "mentality" thing. Not that having a baby at 36 weeks would be that dangerous but once you hit this point, you are prepared and ready for anything now. It kind of settled my mind, so I could focus on the birth rather than worry about a preterm birth. I am so excited, I can't wait, I am DYING to know her name. Any day now, any day...
