After 12 weeks of monitoring contractions and being on and off of bed rest, our time for concern is quickly ending. In one week we will be at 36 weeks, cleared to deliver at the birth center, and beyond reasonable concern about the baby's health.
My cervix is VERY ready for delivery, and we have begun to dilate. Unfortunately, my body likes to work up to active labor, and therefor, this only guarantees that at some point we will no longer be pregnant. All the same, we are taking this last week easy before taking laps around the block every night!
We still do not know the sex of the baby, although the grocery-store line guess seems to be heavily weighted towards a boy. Daddy on the other hand is certain this is his second little girl. Peter and Isabelle have withdrawn comments on this one (perhaps still feeling embarrassed about calling Daniel his little sister for nine months?). And mommy, having believed Peter last time, is also withdrawing all guesses. But you are welcome to take a guess...
