Full Term!!

I am 37 weeks and 3 days!

Last week I was having a lot of strong contractions. The doctor hooked me up to some monitors and confirmed that I was not quite in labor, but that it could be soon. What does soon mean? That's what I asked! His answer was a shoulder shrug and, "Soon." Well thanks a lot... That doesn't help at all ;)

I am definitely ready to have this baby. Though I love being pregnant, I also hate it. I am uncomfortable and sick, but I really love the attachment I have to her, and I think I will miss it when I am no longer pregnant.

The nursery is done(ish). We were able to buy an awesome glider that I think brings the room together so nicely. We are still missing a dresser. We have been checking thrift stores daily and haven't found one yet. We aren't even that picky! It has to be changing table height and cheap. It doesn't matter the condition. The nursery looks amazing though. I am so impressed with how it turned out, and I am loving sitting in the glider and just staring at the room.

Baby seems to be measuring right on time now, and so am I. Everyone keeps saying how big I look, but I think it is because I am short, and baby is all up front! I haven't really gained any weight, so I am all belly right now!

How far along? In my 38th week.
Stretch marks? yep
Sleep: what's that? It is definitely difficult to get sleep with this uncomfortable body. 
Best moment this week: Last week work threw an awesome baby shower. We were given so many great gifts.  
Miss Anything? Dr. Pepper. I am not even a regular Dr Pepper drinker, but I have been really wanting some lately. 
Movement: Still moving a lot, but not as strong as before.
Food cravings: No real cravings, though pumpkin anything always sounds good.   
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still sick all the time      
Gender: Girl (hopefully, I keep having dreams it is a boy and the nursery is definitely not prepared for a boy!)
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks.
Symptoms: Heartburn.
Belly Button in or out? It is definitely an outie.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Very happy and loving this time in our lives
Looking forward to: Having this baby! It could be any day now :)
