it's official

We're in (almost).

The moving process will happen over the course of a few days, but as far as I'm concerned, we're in! No more going back to our old place for me, if I can help it.

I've included some pictures of it without all of our stuff in it. It's nicer, bigger and cleaner than I imagined. Now all it needs is a little baby girl in one of the rooms and we'll be all set!

I'm officially full term this week, which is very exciting. Three weeks to go until my due date! I'm having an ultrasound tomorrow to check the fetal weight and positioning, as they think she's still transverse breech. And with the stress of the past few weeks I haven't been gaining weight (in fact I've lost a few pounds), so they want to check on her size. She should be about 6 to 6 1/2 lbs. now, and I think she'll be 7 1/2 lbs. when she's born, which means she'd need to cook for another two weeks at least. Fine by me! Although I feel ginormous, and look it, too, I don't think she's going to be a 9 lb.+ baby. I still haven't hit a 20 lb. weight gain, and according to the doctors there's a good 10 - 15 lbs. of "other" stuff (fluid, extra blood volume, placenta, etc.) gained with pregnancy, so while it's possible she'll be 9 lbs., it's highly unlikely. Famous last words, right?

If I get any good ultrasound pics tomorrow, I'll post those, too. For now, here's our empty (but BIG, BEAUTIFUL and CLEAN) new home:
