Flipped!

At the end of week 37, we have made it to full term. The baby can come safely now at anytime. It was confirmed Thursday he did flip head down for his big debut, which is what I have spent 20 minutes 3 times a day for the past week trying to get him to do. Everything is progressing as it should, which is good news. However, my feet are sore, my back hurts, the baby still moves constantly and sometimes painfully, and even the pregnancy clothes are uncomfortable at this point. I am looking forward to making it through the last 4 1/2 days of work then getting to put my feet up for a while. Report cards are complete, my classroom is almost packed for the summer, and I have been busy setting up for next year to make my life easier with a newborn. It's just a waiting game now!

We took the baby care class Thursday, practicing diapering and bathing. It gave us lots of useful information, and the nurse who taught the class was great. I think we both feel better now about bringing home a baby. Mike didn't win the diaper derby this time, but he diapered well. Compared to the other preggies there, I definitely didn't look 37 weeks pregnant. I did say at the beginning I hope I don't get too big. Ask, and you shall receive! My total weight gain has been 25 pounds. That has been plenty, just ask my poor feet!
