37 Weeks - Officially Full-Term!

We've made it! Officially full-term, although our due date is not for another three weeks. Anytime between now and July 29th would be completely normal for the baby to be born.

We've finally got the baby's room set up and the car seat, so we are ready for him to show up! We did get some unfortunate news from the midwife yesterday, though. Apparently it looks like I have late-onset gestational diabetes. This means that I am now on a no-refined-sugar diet and limited natural sugar intake. Darn.

The two risks are that the baby could be huge and also sugar-dependent, which would mean he would have a hard time adjusting after he is born. We're really hoping that he'll come early so he doesn't have much of a chance to get too big...

We also got some maternity pictures taken last week, so we'll post those when we get them!

Love you all!
Steph & Eric
