Full term - 37 weeks! (And, our little ice skater)

As of yesterday, I am now full term. I can't believe it -- soon we'll meet our little boy and be a family of four instead of three. We visited Allen's parents last weekend for our last trip out of town for the foreseeable future. On the drive home, Allen and I kept talking about how the next time we visit, we'll have two kids....what a change!

I haven't really discussed my approach to labor this time around, mostly because I'm focusing on not stressing about it and keeping an open mind. With Sophie, I had a plan in place, but it didn't quite work out as my labor stopped progressing after 24 hours and Sophie was delivered by C-section. Rather than schedule a C-section this time, I've decided to try for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). I'm nervous, but hopeful that this time around we'll be successful with a vaginal delivery.

Switch gears--- while we were at the grandparents' house this weekend, Sophie and I watched a rerun of the women's Olympic figure skating long program. Sophie loves to dance, so I figured she would really enjoy watching this.... see the video below for her reaction (it's about 2 minutes long, but you'll get the idea pretty quickly, oh and please excuse my laughter and talking).

I love how she tries to imitate the ice skaters - spins and jumps, and all. The rain boots and pull-up with tee shirt were entirely her idea -- she was really attached to the rain boots last week!
