Full Term Baby!

So, with only 3 weeks to go until my due date, Lily is officially considered a full-term baby! That means her lungs should be fully developed now, and she should have no (or at least very few/minor) medical problems if I were to go into labor at any point between now and my due date. At my doctor's visit last week, my OB estimated that she was about 6 lbs, and at this point she is gaining about an ounce each day. She has "dropped" a little bit and I notice the difference in my profile since my tummy is lower than it was before. I can feel her running out of room in there! She does a lot of stretching and rolling around now instead of jabbing, and she gets hiccups every now and then too :) Mark likes to watch the various bulges and movement in my stomach from across the couch! I am now down to weekly doctor's appointments, and go in again on Monday. I have plans to pack my hospital bag this weekend and finish up any baby-related things around here. After that, I just have some organizing to do for the house to keep me busy until Lily makes her arrival. I started working from home this week which has been really nice, and most of my projects are wrapping up now.

Mark has a new toy, a digital SLR camera! I'm sure we'll have some great pictures to post after we figure out how to use it... Maybe we'll practice with it for next week's belly shot, but I know one thing - Lily is going to be a very photographed little girl!

Congrats to my friend Lauren and her husband Ed on the birth of their little boy, Luke, last week! He is just adorable and they are doing so well as new parents. And another congrats to Amanda, Clint and Abbey, who are expecting again this winter (see the link to The Newest Neville over to the right)!! Happy Birthday to my Dad, Melissa and Abbey as well! And a happy belated Father's Day to all the dads out there!

All of you Baby Campbell lurkers out there - POST YOUR GUESSES ON THE POLL!! You only have a few more weeks to guess!
