All my bags are packed...

I have arrived at what doctors refer to as full term. The baby is completely developed and can technically arrive any day! However, until his/her arrival, he/she will merely be feeding and getting fatter by the day, sort of like me. The doctor, is not, however expecting an early arrival. While the baby is in position, he/she has not yet dropped...and going back to an earlier post, my doctor seems to think that the ultrasound technician overshot the estimated weight of the baby. He said that there is no way the baby will weigh more than 8 pounds. Either way, we are talking about a big healthy baby!

I had a terrible nightmare a few nights back that my water broke in my sleep and I had to be raced to the hospital. There were complications and they didn't give me a choice as to whether or not I wanted anesthesia. I awoke with a beautiful dark skinned baby girl in my arms, nursing eagerly. The strange part of the dream was that Claudio was away on business in the US and it was, instead, my mother who had accompanied me in the birthing process. So what I am trying to say is, I suppose I do have some hidden anxiety about giving birth, and mostly about what to expect. That and, I am no longer certain the baby is a boy.

The heat has been excruciating, and has surely played a role in my nightmarish dreams. It is never easy to sleep in a pool of perspiration. Though, I must say, there has been a surprisingly low amount of humidity in the air. So while the rest of the Rosario suffers and dwells in their complaints of the suffocatingly dry heat, I, on the other hand, am in seventh heaven. I have had tons of energy, finishing up the final touches and preparations for the baby's arrival, something that feels a fin to running on a treadmill, as I am finding one can never truly be "ready."

But...
After struggling with how to attach the sides, I finally finished the bassinet!

I also decided to decorate a few of the plain white Onsies that were gifted to us...












A cute froggy towel...


And finally, taking what may be the last of the belly shots, Claudio has turned into quite the photographer!
