We're getting closer! I go back to the doctor tomorrow...hopefully we'll set a date for Spike's birthday!
I'm having some back pain today. I don't know if it's the baby or just the weight on the front of my body taking its toll, but I'm uncomfortable!
On a wonderful note, I had a prenatal massage yesterday, preceded by a pregnancy milk bath. Heavenly.
And, I'm trying to refocus my fears about the c-section into positive visualizations about the whole thing. After all, thinking positively and visualizing a good outcome is one of the ways I got here in the first place, so why not revisit that idea? In any case, it's calmed me down a lot.
Here's this week's update from www.babycenter.com. I wonder if we'll have a baby Elvis? :-)
How your baby's growing: Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.Your baby weighs a little over 6 pounds and measures between 19 and 20 inches, head to heel. Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

Both of my kids being born a touch early, they were under 6 pounds and 18 inches. No problems. Because they were so small, their heads weren't coned -- and Spike's head will be nice and round from the C-section. Also, no red face. Makes for a pretty baby.
So, a little bird told me that Spike is here. Give her a kiss for me.
