Things are getting closer!

Wow, we have reached month 9!!! It is now time for packing suitcases, putting the car seat in the car, and the other things you actually get to do for the baby! 

Of course, there always seems to be the inevitable "hurry up and wait" that occurs. I am sure that if we hurry and do all of these things with the thinking that the impending arrival will be soon, then the baby will contentedly wait another 5 weeks to be born! :) Hmmm... maybe we should put them all off and then the baby will be tempted to surprise us with an early arrival! Gosh, I wish it worked that way! 

Our midwives say that everything is right on schedule and looks and sounds wonderful. The baby is in the correct position (although "Blueberry" seems to like to face my right hip more than to face my back). Thankfully, that is a pretty small rotation. The baby seems to be right on schedule for size and gets to pack on another 1/2 lb per week for the next few weeks! :) 

"Blueberry" seems to be quite the wiggler, moving and kicking all the time. Some of these movements are getting strong enough to almost hurt, so the baby really does seem to be getting ready for more room!
