37 weeks FULL TERM!

Our little Cole is now the size of a winter melon at about 6 1/3 pounds and over 19 inches long.

Big news in Cole's world yesterday.... He is officially FULL TERM! Doctors consider 37 weeks full term because that's when babies should be able to survive outside the womb with no extra assistance and their lungs are fully developed.

We got our little man a bigger car to ride in. It's a 2010 Toyota Venza. This was right after we got the front windows tinted. Josh is a little bit obsessed with having all of the windows tinted so we got that taken care of.

Just another picture of how cute his nursery is. I can't wait to put love him and hug him in his own room.

Another big this this week was getting my FMLA leave approved! Now I'm all ready to take off work for the 6 weeks.

I've had 2 migraines this week, which totally sucks!! I had one Tuesday night and I just went straight to bed while Josh gave Ranger a bath and did laundry (such a good husband). Then I woke up with one on Thursday morning. I haven't had one in years but I've read that progesterone levels drop off in the weeks before labor and that other hormone levels rise so I'm sure that's why I'm getting the migraines. I just hate them!

While I was laying in bed Thursday morning with a migraine I got started thinking about the urgency of packing our hospital bag. You see when I get migraines, I get the auras so I can't see and I also get really confused and can't speak very well during them. So with those two things added in, I thought I'd better get my bag packed when I get to feeling better because it'll be awfully hard to tell Josh what I want in the bag if I went into labor with a migraine. So.... I packed the bag. The only thing that's left to put in the bag is Josh's clothes but I told him that he's responsible for that.

Here's our list of things to grab before we get in the car and go to the hospital...

Car Seat

Diaper Bag

Our overnight bag

Phone Chargers

iPad

Make-up (just in case I'm feeling fiesty!)

and Towels to sit on in case my water breaks in the car or before we leave

Now, I feel really ready to have this baby!!
