We are now full term!!!!

Today marks 37 weeks for us. We are now considered full term so anytime that Claire decides she wants to come is safe. I am starting to get a bit anxious about labor...I think I know too much from working labor and delivery for over 9 years now. Jeff is getting very excited and I feel he is ready to be a daddy. I had my first Dairy Queen blizzard for the pregnancy last night and enjoyed every last bite of it! I am starting to feel more back discomfort after my 12 hour shifts of work, but nothing too terrible yet. I am guessing each day will become a bit more difficult and I hope that working so much will maybe put me into labor. My desire it to go into labor on my own and not have to be induced. We will see what Claire has in mind! We see the doctor on Friday for our 37 week visit and I will find out then if I have made any cervical changes. Last week I was dilated 1cm which made me happy. Let's hope this week brings more dilation! I am excited to meet Claire but will definitely miss being pregnant. So far, no signs of labor. It is exciting not knowing when the big day will arrive. My parents are ready in MN to make the trip down...they even have their clothes picked out so all they have to do is put them into a suitcase and head south. I can't wait to see them with Claire! As you can see in the pictures, we are growing quickly these past few weeks. Jeff cannot even hug me normally anymore!
