I hit the 37 week mark on Friday and breathed a huge sigh of relief. From here on out, I am within the window for a home birth 🙂 Despite general increasing discomfort for me, the more time baby spends growing inside, the better, but it’s nice to know that if baby decided to come today, we could go ahead as planned with the birth at home. (If I had gone into labor prior to 37 weeks, that would have been automatic cause to head to the hospital.)
I spent a good portion of Friday and Saturday doing some serious nesting, though, as with the kitchen, my cleaning efforts on the apartment as a whole seem to degrade quickly. Oh well. In general, things are pretty well set for baby’s arrival.
On Sunday, I helped Matthew as he showcased our garden in the Sustainable Backyard Tour. He did an amazing job, giving inspiring tours to the more than 50 people who visited our garden over the course of the afternoon. More on the garden to come later.

Congrats! This was a big milestone for me too. I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when we hit 37 weeks. I hope the next few weeks go well for you! You look absolutely radiant!
My baby came on Monday evening and I was still biking to work the Friday before. Unfortunately, I haven’t any pictures to add to my baby’s baby book but I do have testimony from my coworkers (they all thought I was crazy).
