Today I'm 36 1/2 weeks. Almost there! I don't think my 36 week pic looks much different from my 30 week pic, but I'm def bigger and belly has dropped.
I had a doc appt today. He is head down, super low. I'm not dilated yet, but I am 75% effaced. The doc said he feels like the perfect size for my body. I really wish they could tell me approximatly when I'll go into labor, ha. I know that's impossible, but I really want him to stay in there until the week of Thanksgiving. I'm def done being pregnant, it's become pretty damn uncomfortable, but my Mom won't here until the 23rd! That is exactly a week before my due date. So, I guess all we can do is wait and see. I've been feeling crampy and my lower back hurts most of the time.
I am an obsessive planner so this waiting and not knowing is killing me!
Now that my pregnancy is coming to an end I would like to note the things I have enjoyed about being pregnant.
-My hair is very soft and thick
-My skin is clear
-I can eat much spicier foods than ever before and it's delicious!
-Feeling and seeing him move has been really cool
Beyond those things I am not someone that "loves being pregnant".
I hoping to have a couple more blog posts before the little guy arrives. I'm switching my blog to Word Press. Justin thinks that it'll be so much better. So, once I transfer all of my archives I'll post my new blog address.
Time to fold baby clothes!
I wasn't really feeling the look of my blog, so I picked this templet just until I do something different to it. Justin wants to help me make it look better.
We went to a "Taking Care of Baby" class at the hospital this week. They taught infant CPR, changing the baby, and safe sleep practices. We had fun. The pic at the top is what Justin did with his baby mannequin :)
The nursery is almost finished. It looks a little blah right now because we haven't done any decorating yet. We have plans for some wall hangings and some other things to add. I've got all of his clothes and toys organized, but I still need to wash his clothes, blankets and such.
Bateman hangs out with me while I work in the baby room. He really wants a baby toy to destroy bad! He's stolen a couple blankets and some clothes (for the tags), but I got to him before he could do any damage. He favorite thing to do is chewing things up, so we're gonna have to really watch him.
This past week I had some cramping. The doc says they were braxon hicks, but they felt a little different than what I've read about braxon hicks. None the less, the doc told me on Wednesday that I'm measuring right at 34 weeks, so that was good. I really don't want him to come too early. I hope he holds out til the week of Thanksgiving.
I've always been a list maker, but lately it's all I've been doing! Yesterday my list actually had listed to make 2 other sub lists to the main list..crazy. But, with persistent nagging and list making we've been able to get most of the stuff prepared in the time frame I was hoping for.
In two weeks I'll be 36 weeks and I start going to the doc once a week!
I'm giant.
This is the absolute, best time of the year! I'm so happy that I made it through the rough summer and that my last few months are in the fall.
These are pictures of our Halloween village. We started it 4 years ago, when we got in engaged and every year we add something. This year we added the "Halloween Pet Costume Contest". We are dorks.
I've been going to the doctor every two weeks now. Everything looks good. He's "head down". He feels super heavy and I'm afraid I may pee my pants.
The nursery is coming along. We're are waiting on one piece of furniture and then we should be set, besides maybe some wall items. I can't wait to meet our little guy :)
