Welp, Iapos;m almost done with week 34.
Iapos;ll be 37 weeks on October 30th, and 37 weeks is when youapos;re considered full term. Itapos;s normal to deliver any time between 37 and 42 weeks. So anytime between October 30th and December 4th (oh rowan, please donapos;t wait that long).
Wow, itapos;s crazy to think the baby could be here in two and a half weeks. Josh and I were talking about it yesterday and we were both like "oh my gosh..." haha. Weapos;re finally starting to get everything together though (thanks to all the great gifts we got at our shower). I even have the babyapos;s hospital bag packed. We picked out her "coming home outfit" and packed some blankets a few other things for her. We got most of the baby gear put together too. I put josh in charge of the travel system after staring at the instructions for 5 minutes. And I put the pack apos;n play together lastnight, for the most part. I got the regular part and the bassinet part but left the changing table part for josh. The nursery is almost completely finished. We still have a little bit of organizing to do, and I need to get a curtain rod so I can put the curtains up, but then it will be finished.

Iapos;m taking a tour of the birthing center soon. They do tours every sunday but Iapos;ve been putting it off because josh works on sundays and I donapos;t want to go by myself. But I think Brittany is going to go with me so I donapos;t have to go alone, which is cool.

With the big day approaching, I guess we should go over our views on visitors when the baby is born again. I know Iapos;ve posted about it on here before and I think weapos;ve talked to most of you about it, but I just want to make sure itapos;s clear so thereapos;s no drama or hurt feelings when the time comes.
First of all, the only non medical staff in the hospital room while Iapos;m in labor will be josh. Period.
Secondly, itapos;s not going to be like in the movies when the entire family is sitting in the waiting room and hanging out outside of our door and then barge in the moment the baby is born. We will call our parents when we get to the hospital just to let everyone know whatapos;s going on. And then we will call our parents to give them the big news when the baby is born and to let them know that theyapos;ll hear from us again when weapos;re ready for visitors. Itapos;s really important to us that we have some time alone to bond with our new baby as a family, just the 3 of us. When we decide that weapos;re ready for visitors, it will just be our parents (not our siblings, our grandparents, our aunts and uncles and family friends. Just parents). We donapos;t think itapos;s unfair to ask everyone else to hold off on visiting until we get home. They keep you in the hospital for a reason, and weapos;d like to use that time to recover and spend time with our baby and get a little bit of rest.
The day we come home from the hospital, we wouldnapos;t mind if our parents brought our siblings over to see the baby, as long as no one is sick and the visits are short. Then weapos;ll ask for the rest of the day to ourselves, and everyone else can start visiting the next day. We wonapos;t have any rules for who visits or when after that as long as you call first. I mean, I guess weapos;ll have to limit it a little if itapos;s getting to be too much, but it should be fine.

I guess thatapos;s all. I canapos;t really think of anything else right now.
