Hi All here I am at 38 weeks. I am doing very well. No stretch marks, no pains nothing.

I am very lucky that I have 4 great midwives because none of them are interested in inducing me untill I hit 42 weeks, unless the baby is under stress or I am having difficulty too. They don't see any problems for this pregnancy at all, I don't see any either. Matty and I are hoping we go the weekend of August 5th. We still like our time together and are enjoying everything along the way.

Matty is finishing up the baby's room. He has done a fabulous job. It kills me not being able to contribute but I think he enjoys the fact that he did this room all on his own. From floor to ceilling and adding in a closet for all her little clothes. Her room is all put together witht the exception of a few things that need to be hung on the walls. Her clothes are all washed and put away and all the furniture is in too. The cats were not to happy with all the construction to this room but they are quiet comfortable with it now. No worry about the cats we have a plan .. from how we are going to introduce them to the baby, to sleeping arrangements. Granted Mikaela will not be in her crib right away but we have a crib tent coming. It's a special netting/tent for the crib to keep animals out. This way the cats still can be in the room from time to time and Matty and I don't have to worry about them crawling in for cat naps with the baby. It causes less stress for everyone. So don't worry, our kittens are our babies too and we have everything worked out and are very aware of how pets can be with a new baby.

Anyhoo. I have posted belly picks for you to see the growth in a matter of a few weeks and once I get a chance this week her finished room pics will be posted as well.
