Week 38

Hope everybody out there had a happy holiday! Ours was swell and was spent up in Uxbridge with Jon's family.
A few developments of note:
1) I officially started my maternity leave on December 21st. So far, I just feel like I'm on vacation.
2) Two friends of mine recently revealed to me that they've become pregnant!
3) The baby reached full term status a week ago, which means he can make his appearance any day now and won't be considered a preemie.
4) According to the midwife, the baby's head is "fixed" (i.e. more or less in birthing position). You're supposed to be able to see a change in the belly when this happens -- it'll look like it's pointing down. I don't know if I can really tell. Check out belly shots from week 36 (wearing dark dress) and today -- week 38 (wearing white sweater). Maybe there is a bit of a dip....
