10 weeks left and some furniture

Well, 10 weeks left. And really, it could be sooner (or later) and I'm not quite sure how 'ready' we are. In our class this week our instructor asked us to start getting our bags packed... just to make sure we have everything when the time comes. Seem's a bit premature to me, but we'll do it. This whole thing is becoming quite real now.

Here's what babycenter has to say about the progress...

Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face.

In other news... we got the rest of our furniture a while ago. The only big thing left is a comfy rocking chair, which we'll probably try to get at the end of the month or sometime next month. Also, we hung the framed children's books around the room.
