Week 37

Hello!

Week 37! Yippee! Little Miss Caitlin is technically considered full-term now, so she is about the size of...a baby! :) However, it is better if she waits a few more weeks to make her debut. That gives her brain more time to develop, she'll be able to pack on another couple ounces, and she can keep working on those ever-important life skills--eating, sleeping, and filling up diapers. She will also hopefully develop some sense of spacial orientation--we have decided she has my sense of direction because she is still pretty crooked in there, and it's very uncomfortable when she tries to get comfortable.

This past weekend we got to assemble some more of her furniture; she now has a functional mobile, baby monitor, and "soothing colic pad," although I managed to pop of the head of the screw to that battery compartment, so it needs some help. I also managed to build her bouncer (go me!) but we ran out of D batteries, so that and her swing are still in process. While we won't be using her stroller any time soon because of all the snow (which we would be more than happy to donate to Vancouver), we also need to pull that out of the box so we can figure out her car seat before going to the hospital.

So, all her stuff is pretty much ready, and the last really big thing to do is pack my hospital bag. I have gotten started but there are a lot of things to pack that I am still using. I can pack her going-home outfit though--it's so cute! One more thing to unveil on the big day, whenever it, aka she, decides to arrive. :)
