Entering the home stretch

Just about 35 weeks along now and everything’s still going very well. I’m getting a kick out of watching him move and squirm and kick–although it isn’t as much fun for my wife, especially when he keeps her awake.

Only 2 weeks until we hit the 37 week mark, after which he could come at any time and no longer be considered premature. No reason to suspect he won’t go the full 40, but even the 5 weeks until then will go by in the blink of an eye. My wife has left work as of last Friday, and is very much enjoying being able to take life at a slower pace and focus on getting ready for our new arrival.

Here’s the video from our 29-week ultrasound. It may not be easy to spot, but at one point the doc was examining the umbilical cord and he suddenly grabbed it and moved it away.
