Yes, that's right, it's time for another baby update.  As the subject line says, I have 23 days left til my due date.  The home stretch. 

I had a doctor's appointment this morning, in which they took an icky culture, checked to see if baby's head was down (important to know, especially since Brenna turned her happy little butt around int he last week and came out breech), and answered a few of my questions regarding getting my tubes tied, etc. 

The doctor took some measurements and tells me that baby is close to 6 1/2 pounds right now, and will likely be longer than his big sister was (Brenna was 7 pounds and measured 19 1/2 inches in length when she was born). 

He's also facing the right way and I'm currently "a finger's width dilated."  What's that, anyway, about a half an inch?

My BP, weight and everything else are al fine. 

Today, I spent a good portion of the day washing, folding and putting away all the baby blankets, cribs sheets, burp cloths, towels, etc that we got from the baby shower and various friends & family for the new baby. 

There is something very comforting about a new, soft baby blanket freshly washed and smelling of baby-formula laundry soap.  Just makes you want to sit down and snuggle up in your favorite chair and take a nap. 

Well, we just got back from the doctor's office, where I had my 20-week ultrasound... aka the one where the tell us what we're having. (Other than a rotten Chilson rugrat, because I could have told you that already! *g* )
