Time feels like it is slowing down the closer we get to baby Daher's birthday. We of course don't want him to come until he is ready, but we are SO excited to meet him. I missed week 36 post, nothing too major happened. We had our weekly doctors appointment and she informed me that I was already 1cm dilated. I was excited until she told me I could stay here for weeks....talk about first time mom on edge. We also got surprised with a 36 week ultra sound. They just wanted to measure the baby and my fluid levels. They were estimating him at 6lbs last week so he should be 6.5lbs this week. They think he will be in the 7lb range by delivery.
Ahmad and I are trying to be as patient as possible and taking advantage of this precious time we have just him and I. ( And Leon too) :) In a couple weeks it will no longer be just the two three of us. We have been doing a lot of date nights and having fun with house and baby projects. We have also been stocking up like we are getting ready for the zombie apocalypse. Freezer is full and we have ample amounts of toilet paper and paper towels.
Sorry this weeks photo is a little blurry. All of our camera's are packed and ready to go and I refuse to let anyone touch our hospital bags or take anything out, so this pic was taken with a phone.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm not going to lie, the thought of delivery is a little scary, but I have faith in God that he will be there watching over us and mother nature is going to take over and do her thing. We are feeling prepared and confident, but I would appreciate it if you would keep us in your payers for a smooth and safe delivery.
Looking forward to: Meeting our baby!!
