Full Term!

Wooohooo! Our baby is officially full term today... 37 weeks to be exact!

We both feel very fortunate that baby Hurley will not be premature. Michelle's brother Danny was a "premie" and the incubator and visits to the NICU are still scary memories.

Here are some 37 week snap-shots. As you can tell, pregnancy fatigue is getting to me. This mommy-to-be can't be bothered with blow drying the hair on weekends or matching socks to outfits anymore.

37 weeks
January 12, 2013

I feel very fortunate to have dodged morning sickness and other serious complications this pregnancy. I'm fully aware I could have had it a lot worse.

However, I am pregnant so I feel I get to complain about some things! My biggest issues have been back pain and shortness of breath. It is making work feel like a lot more of a challenge. I just need to keep reminding myself that in about 3 weeks, work will be the last thing I need to worry about!

The Hurley household has been busily preparing for baby's arrival... there has not been much down time (photos of the nursery's current state soon to follow).

I spent the day making returns to stores, purchasing frames for the nursery, doing laundry and lesson plans. Daddy-to-be just finished his forth day in a row of working 12 hours! Guess we will be ready for all the sleep we will not be getting once baby arrives.

However, Winston still continues to sleep like a baby... the life of a dog!
