37 weeks

I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow! I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is passing! That will make me officially full term, so the baby can come at any time now. I think we're pretty much ready for him, although I think Isaac would like a little more time to wrap up some work projects. We'll see!

I had an interview offer at work this week. After initially accepting the interview, I decided not to go through with it. At this point in my pregnancy, I just want to focus on wrapping things up at work and preparing for Baby Bird. I think I've upset the management team I work with in the last couple months by applying for several jobs outside my department. But I guess I have to do what's right for me. I definitely think I'm being held to a double standard ("Don't leave us Andrea, but there isn't really anything we can do to address your concerns either...") Ugh. I will be really happy just to have a couple months off to focus on the baby and our family. Then I can go from there!

I have an ultrasound and doctor's appointment today. I'll post pictures later if any show up really well. The pics from my 32 week ultrasound were pretty hard to distinguish, although I can totally see Baby Bird's cute nose and cheeks in the photo. Only a mother can appreciate that, right?

We are serving dinner to homeless families at our church tonight. Our church is a part of an area network to house, feed, and transport homeless families. Families are eligible to be in the program for about 6 weeks, and they receive resume and job help. Churches volunteer to house the families for a week at a time. We literally transform Sunday school classrooms into "apartments." Isaac and I spent the night last quarter at the church. But I think I'm going to pass this time. Nothing like my own bed at this point in my pregnancy (although sleep is definitely becoming more and more difficult).

We don't have any plans for Saturday, and I am relieved. It will be nice to get a few more things done around the house. I may even go for a swim in the condo pool since it's supposed to be so hot this weekend. Isaac is training for a marathon this fall, so he'll run. And then he needs to do some work at the office. So, we'll have a relatively laid back weekend.

We seized the opportunity last night to go see the movie Robinhood. I thought the movie was pretty good, and the story line was definitely a good one. Cate Blanchet and Russell Crowe did a really good job in the movie. I especially liked Cate.

Anyway, that's what is new with me this week. We're getting close to meeting Baby Bird in person and we can't wait! Happy weekend all!
