35 weeks?!

Wow, I can't believe that next Saturday I'll be 9 months! We are having an awesome and surreal time preparing for baby's arrival. We finished up our classes at the hospital last week. I really enjoyed the hospital tour and Tom seemed to really like Bootcamp for Expectant Fathers as well as all the other classes we went to. We learned a lot, though I have a feeling there is a lot more to learn when the hands on experience comes!
We are pre-registered at the hospital, have selected our pediatrician, sent in the birth certificate information, enrolled baby in his back up daycare (in case we don't get called on the waiting list from our first choice), and generally been running around making sure everything is ready. I love it!
We are going to weekly doctor appointments now that we are nearing the due date. I had some test results come back a little concerning, but everything seems to still be on track. Baby is not in the right position yet and we're thinking he may not be able to get where he needs to be due to the fibroid tumor. We'll have an ultrasound on December 4th that should answer any of those questions. We still don't know whether I will have a c-section or not. We're hoping the ultrasound will be able to give us that answer as well. We'll see! We are looking forward to the following week's Thanksgiving festivities and our annual trip to the mountains to get our Christmas tree. As well as our 4th anniversary on the 2nd. We have a lot to celebrate!
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

It's been such a surreal, amazing 35 weeks! I feel very fortunate and blessed to have been able to be a part of such a huge life event for you two! And I look forward to many, many more years of watching your child grow into a wonderful person. Congratulations on everything thus far, I am so excited for what this next month has in store! I'm looking forward to our annual Christmas tree trip, too! 5 more days! And thanks again for all your help this past weekend :-)

WOW, you've come so far! I'm glad to hear everything is progressing well. I'm surprised your midwife is letting you go up to the mountains. The doctor Christina & I saw (wow, we sound like a same-sex couple there!) didn't let patients go more than an hour from the hospital after 34 weeks!
