On the home stretch...

...literally. As of Sunday, Baby Sister is now officially considered full-term (37 weeks) and is welcome to come at any point. Especially as I don't know how much more stretching my skin is up for. I definitely shouldn't complain as I've had it pretty easy during this pregnancy as was the case when I was pregnant with the Girl. However, this time around my skin fell casualty to a stretch mark. Gasp!!! One lone stretch mark right above my "used-to-be-an-innie" belly button. This stretch mark seems to be ever increasingly widening and has now been joined by a companion. Again, I shouldn't complain, I know.

So, as I mentioned earlier, Baby Sister is welcome to come at any point...

- her room is finished (see previous post)
- boxes of diapers are stacked in the closet awaiting her arrival
- the Girl's old newborn clothes have been unpacked, sorted & washed
- a hospital bag has been packed
- arrangements have been made for the Girl to stay with friends
- there is a week's worth of homemade meals in the freezer
- the crib is assembled

Am I missing anything?
