YAY!!! I can’t wait until 4:30pm today, when I’m outta here until January 5th!
The appointment with the midwife this morning went very well. Baby is measuring right where it’s supposed to again, so apparently we have a "textbook baby" according to the midwife. She also said that the baby’s head is quite low in the pelvis; so baby has really dropped down into the pelvis. She didn’t outright say it, but I am taking this to mean that baby will more likely be born early than late since baby is already ‘getting into position’. I’m thinking we may have a January baby on our hands, I’m thinking maybe January 20 something. That’s just my guess though, I could be completely wrong!
So now our next appointment is the first week of January for a home visit. We don’t have it booked as of right now though since it will be with our primary midwife and she is on holidays this week. So, she’s going to call me on Monday when she’s back in the office to set up the home visit. They do the home visit at 36 weeks so they have more time to spend with you to go over the birth plan and “day of” sort of things in detail. So that will be sometime during the week of January 5th and then my appointments are weekly from then until the baby is born. Exciting stuff!
I can't believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow! I guess I've been so busy trying to get things done at work and at home getting ready for baby, Christmas has really crept up on me this year!
I hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas!!!!
Edit 10:35am
My brother and his fiance are in negotiations now about the house. The seller came back with a counter-offer, so my brother is submitting a second offer. Now they're only talking a difference of a few thousand and a couple weeks on the closing date, so I have a feeling they will reach an agreement soon - very exciting!

January 20 something means an Aquarian baby! Like me! *beams*

This Christmas snuck up on a lot of people I think. My mom and I were talking about that on the weekend. There was almost no build-up to Christmas this year. Then, BAM it's tomorrow! Surprisingly, all my shopping and wrapping is done though. I usually have to get at least one thing at this point. Guess I was more on the ball than I thought.
Merry Christmas to you and Carlos, and to your families as well! Oh, and I guess Happy New Year too!
I'll be at work next week (and blogging too) since I have no real vacation time yet (I have two days only).
One day earlier and you'll have a baby on my birthday... Jan 19!
I think I know four people due around then... someone has to have their baby on Jan 19!
