A quick update on how my pregnancy life has been going the last few weeks. I am finally sporting a nice sized baby bump (yay!). Although, sleeping at night has become a little less then what I am used to, I really don't mind the lack of sleep because that means baby Michael is almost here!

Each week I am seeing my obstetrician and I am also having sonograms done for bio physicals on the baby. Each week the ultrasound technician checks my amniotic fluid, the baby's heart rate and for his fetal breathing. The last two appointments have gone perfect and everything is looking wonderful. Baby's who carry trisomy 21 tend to always come early due to complications, but we have been so lucky to have no complications regarding baby Michael's health. I have a feeling he will stay inside as long as he can- we think he has become VERY comfortable inside his Momma. Then again, he could surprise us at anytime- as it is in his and Gods hands when he will make his big debut.

Tomorrow, Thursday February 21, I will be 37 weeks and my pregnancy and baby will be considered full-term. He will be considered perfectly fine to come at anytime after tomorrow. I cannot explain how happy I am to have come so far in my pregnancy and to be blessed with a stress-free last couple of months. I have absolutely no doubts that God and all of our loved ones who are no longer with us have been watching over me and my precious son.

So, the countdown is finally here! When will this beautiful baby decide to grace us with his presence? We will just have to wait and find out.... Love to all!!!!!
