38 weeks. tick...tick...tick....

i keep telling ry i feel like my body is a ticking time bomb. i have weird dreams about labor almost every night, and i think we both just feel like we're living in limbo. neither of us slept well last night because we were anxious about today's appointment. we so look forward to our doctor appointments because she's the only person who can give us a little window into when this thing may happen ;o). after she spit out some numbers today, we said- 'so what does that mean?' and she responded 'that you'll have him sometime in the next two weeks.' thanks so much, that really helps ;o). so we will just keep waiting on pins and needles to meet our little one!!

a cool side note... we have heard recently how lucky we are to be having a baby in the year of the dragon. we saw a news story about how so many women are undergoing fertility treatments to try to have a baby by the end of the chinese calendar year. apparently babies born in the year of the dragon are very revered in their culture. they are considered to be passionate, innovative, flexible, and self-assured. to top that off, 2012 is the year of the water dragon, which long story short, is even more lucky! the water is supposed to have a calming effect on the dragon's fearless temperament :o). not that we are hugely into horoscopes, but it is SO fun to think of who our babe will grow in to.
