Hooray! Sophia & I have reached the 37 week mark and are officially "full term". This is considered a safe zone and she will no longer be defined as premature if she were born now. We're not expecting any activity for a couple more weeks, but it's still reassuring to know she would survive just fine if born today. And I think we've established that she's certainly not going to be defined low birth weight, which is anything under 5.5#
I had a rough night of sleep last night and today I have been feeling very crampy again with lots of braxton hicks contractions. I anticipate we'll see more progress at our next doctors appointment on Monday.
This week, I put all the freshly washed cloth liners back on all the baby gear like the swing and bouncer and infant car seat. We adjusted the straps on the car seat to the lowest infant slots and put the head support back in. I set up the pack 'n play with the bassinet and changing station in our bedroom and even opened a package of newborn diapers and stuck some in the pack 'n play diaper holder. Seriously, did my little boy really fit into those at one time? I know that he wore them for several weeks but they're so stinkin' tiny!!! It just reinforces that Will is going to seem so huge to me pretty soon. My hospital bag is packed except for the stuff I use on a daily basis, and the car seat and hospital bag are ready and waiting in my closet. So we are ready to go whenever Sophia is!

I can only hope that Mya and Stella are as lucky as Sophia and make it that far. But she would have been okay if she was born before 37 weeks.
