Hi Friends & Family:
Well we have finally made it to 37 weeks which means that the baby is full term and should be ready to join us on the outside at any time. But officially the due date is three weeks from this coming Sunday, October 21st, so from here on out it is up to Baby G.
I am doing well and am looking forward to the arrival of the baby. The pregnancy is still going smooth, but I am definitely slowing down as the baby saps a lot of my energy. As a result tomorrow is my last day of work. I'm finding it hard to work all day and feel it would be nice to have some time to relax before the baby arrives. Plus I have that well known need to "nest" and am looking forward to having the time to get final things in order.
Michael has been having a successful Fall bike racing season, placing well in his last two races which had some national professional racers in attendance. He has been working with a coach and it seems to help with his focus and with making the most of his training. Together with the coach and his natural talent it is looking like it will be a good Fall race season.
He is currently making his way back East as his job starts on October 1st. His goal is to try and find a house for us to buy or rent by the time I move out there towards the end of November. Luckily the military has granted him ten additional days vacation for house hunting, which they are allowing him to also use to come back home for the birth of the baby.
I had a babyshower a few weeks ago with some of my close girlfriends here in Portland. It was a great experiece and a fun time with friends. Attached are pictures from when Michael showed up at the end of the babyshower.
We are as prepared as we can be and are trying to keep our minds open for our journey ahead.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Love,
Jessica & Michael
