At the end of this week, I will be full term and this little turkey can come at any time! I have not been feeling any contractions (not even the fake ones) so I think I have at least a couple more weeks, if not the full 4 or (dread) five.
I am still feeling good, just waking up more at night. I go to the bathroom a lot and if I am not careful, I start thinking about stuff (you know, like how in 4 weeks I am going to be someone's MOTHER) and then I can end up laying awake for stretches of time. Last night I woke up and spent about 30 minutes mentally changing diapers. We are using environmentally friendly diapers so I am anxious there is going to be a steep learning curve. With all this on my mind, good thing I am "retired", eh?
I have also started getting things pulled together for our hospital stay. So far, I have Pearl's "hospital" bag and Evan's diaper bag all set and ready to go. Brian's bag is going to look more like a Best Buy shopping bag than an overnight bag! I just ordered some nursing bras and a nightgown so I don't have to wear the hospital one. Since I am sporting so much junk in the trunk, I got a gown that closes in the back!!
The nursery is almost there...the valance was delivered yesterday and is perfect. Except for the fact they didn't press it! So, that goes back today for pressing and will be re-hung next week. Now, we are just waiting on the lamps and the chandelier to be hung. If we can just get the painters and cabinet guys wrapped up and all of our junk moved back into the right spots...we will be ready for a baby!
We have another doctor's appointment Monday, we'll update then!
