I just got back from Mandy's 39 week appointment at the doctor. He says that she is starting to show signs that the baby is dropping into her pelvis, but we probably won't have a baby until next week. Her cervix is still pretty closed up. But he also said at this stage it really could be any day.
We are both kind of hoping that he at least waits until after Monday because we have few things between now and then: I have to be in Austin all day tomorrow for a CLE, Mandy's mom arrives Sunday evening, and Mandy has a baby shower on Monday evening. After that, bring on the childbirth!
Actually, I think we are pretty well ready for the baby to get here. The nursery is finished (I still need to post photos on AtomicBirdcage). We have all of our baby stuff lined up. I even put the infant car seat in Mandy's car so that she could get used to driving around with it. My friends Lee and Stephanie sent us a box of clothes that their new son just grew out of--I remember seeing their son in those clothes from pics on their blog, so I am starting to picture what our little boy is going to look like. It is an exciting time and we are definitely getting anxious.

Yay for new baby! I hope the delivery goes smoothly. Best wishes to you and you embark on your new family.
Baby day advice: Bring food for Ryan to eat. After baby comes, he's not going to want to leave to get food.
You may have already thought of this, but we brought our laptop with music and movies for slow times at the hospital. May you have your baby in hours rather than days, but if not, it's nice to have some diversion.
