...baby is not!
I "think" I'm having some mild contractions, not painful by any means, but my whole belly gets hard and kind of sticks out for a minute or so. DH is VERY impatient...he wants to know when this whole thing is going to get on the go. I wish I could tell him. But I also wish he would be helpful in getting me to stay relaxed, instead of adding to anxiety.
Hopefully updates will come soon!

39 Weeks
I really have no excuse for not keeping up the blog. I've been home for 1.5 weeks now, cleaning up a storm, trying to eat healthy/walk and getting ready for this baby to come home! I've been feeling a lot more uncomfortable, but I still have times when I feel great so I'm not sure if anything is really happening. I'm heading to the Dr. at 6:45 tonight to see what's up. I think I will be fine with whatever she tells me, I just want to know something. If she says nothing is going on that's fine, at least I won't be over analyzing every little twinge.
Sleeping has become a lot more difficult. I know I can't complain because I got off really easy in the beginning. I slept through the night almost the whole pregnancy. Now I"m up 3-4 times a night, and then when I wake up around 5ish I don't go back to sleep. Walking when I get up in the middle of the night is really painful, so is rolling over.
I'm feeling more and more in need of having dh around. I just want to sit close to him and feel much better when he's around. He's been so great, constantly asking how I'm feeling, and I feel him getting more and more attached to the baby. He's told him/her that it's time to come out a few times. We got to visit with our friends newborn last week and on the way home he just said 'it's time to come out now'. Seeing my big strong husband holding that tiny little baby was amazing, and I can't wait to see him holding our little one.

37 Weeks, Full Term!
I know I keep saying how unbelievable this is, but it is so true. I only have 3 days of work left, and then I'm off for a whole year! That is really hard to grasp. I mean since I graduated in 2003 I've been working 49+ weeks out of the year and now nothing? So strange. Not that I'm complaining, I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to spend this first year with my baby full time, I know not everyone has that gift, but it's going to take some getting used to.
Still feeling pretty good, the pelvic pain is getting worse, but once I'm up and moving for the day it seems to get a lot better. I'm also getting pretty tired again, but thankfully it's interspersed with bursts of energy so I have been getting some things done. Including some more shopping! (I"m spending way too much money!)
I just got an order in the mail yesterday, an Ergo Carrier, Hotsling, and some cloth diapers.
The Ergo, is black with 'retro lining'. I also got the infant insert so we can use it right away.
The hotsling is 'Full Bloom', I'm excited to have this for the early days, it will be a great way to keep the baby with me if he/she is fussy but still have my hands free.
Finally, I added a few things to my CD stash, a couple of XS thirsties covers, since all I have are size small. 2 Bum Genius XS (So ridiculously cute!) and a size small fuzzi bunz just to try, although it seems pretty big, so I'm not sure how soon I'll get to use it. This is added to my prefolds (36 infant sized) and 4 KLO, as well as 4 other fitteds called Sugar Peas.
This is becoming a crazy long entry, so I should wrap it up! Here are this week's pics.

Nursery....pretty much complete!
Love the DREAM letters on the wall...thanks Auntie Pam! She got those for baby for Christmas and they really fit the colors and feel of the room.
Our huge and not so attractive but oh so comfortable chair! I'm sure baby and I are going to be spending a lot of quality time in that chair over the coming months!
Love the crib set and and the light, and I'm so happy with how the wall turned out, DH did such a great job!
This picture does a great job of showing how bright this room is, I love all the light that comes in there it makes it so cheery!
I don't think you can read the quote but it says "Every good and perfect gift comes from above...". It was a pita to put up, but I love it! And I know the picture frames are crooked, I have to adjust the ribbons!
Don't mind the dirty carpet...needs a good vacuuming, as Ella loves to roll around on it!
And that's it, so excited to have it complete...well except for the baby of course!
36 weeks...That's 9 months!
This is unreal, I can't believe I'm here already. I have 6 days left of work, just over 3 weeks until my due date, and the craziest thing...I drove to work with a car seat in my car this morning! lol Dh was nesting a little last night too. We have more places to put a baby in our house than I know what to do with. Poor Ella is just wondering around trying to keep up with all the craziness around the place, and I have to say I can't blame her!
What's going on? Feet? Crazy swollen, hilarious really, hands a little bit too. Still quite painful to be rolling over in bed, but nothing too bad. My high school stretch marks have decided to sprout some extenstions, and then last night my first PG related only stretch mark appreared...yuck! I guess I should be thankful that it happened after my Mat pictures were taken on Satruday. We had a lot of fun getting them done, I was very impressed with DH, and the photographer was fantastic. I'll talk more about here when my teasers are ready...she said Wednesday.
Had two baby showers (not for me) on Sunday, that was a lot of fun. But the weekend was really exhausting, I feel like I need a break from the weekend. I'm trying to use my evenings better, than just sitting on the couch that is! Got the rest of the shower stuff washed and put away last night. The only other thing I have to do wash wise is the diapers, but I want to wait until I'm home for the day so I can just do the 3/4 cycles one after the other.
Placing one more order for things from a website. And I think that will finish up my 'must have' lists for now. I"m getting a few AIO diapers in newborn sizes and some newborn size covers. Also a hotsling and an ergo carrier...holy crap this baby is expensive! lol
Here's this weeks pic...wonder how many more of these I'll have?
