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.

33 weeks...Mini Vacay over

I had a really nice extra long weekend. Got just enough baby 'stuff' that I feel if a baby came I wouldn't have to make a huge list for dh to go pick up at Walmart! lol Had quite a few nice naps (never enough), and realized that I'm so ready to start my mat leave. I came into work this morning to my boss making some drama, as usual, over a stupid meeting tonight (doesn't stress me in the least). I just really don't want to be here anymore, but 1 month left. I guess I shouldn't complain, in reality I only have 18 work days left, I know I can handle that.

I think I am starting to feel the effects of this whole deal though. I'm pretty sure I've got that spread in the pelvis that causes lovely pain whenever I roll over, get up or stand/walk...so nice. Dr. said I'm okay to take tylenol as needed, but to be honest it's more that I can do what I want more than the pain. I think long and hard before rolling over in bed, and stretches that used to feel good feel awful.

Enough complaining though, things are good. My Dr. appointment last night went great. BP is still good, measuring fine, babe's hrate is great, and I'm consistantly gaining about 1.5 lbs every two weeks now (I hit 30lbs last night! lol). Only one more week off and then I'll be weekly appointments until the end. Greg even came with me last night, which was nice, he's been working/playing hockey during most of my appointments so it was nice to have him there.

Had a nice Easter dinner with Greg's family, but really just relaxed for the past week. Can't complain about that. Oh...also, got our HUGE chair for the nursery, it's hilarious, it takes up 3/4 of the room, but so worth it. I could sleep there any day. Which I'm sure I'll be doing lots of.
