38.5 weeks.... any time now. Really. Any time.
Its that awkward waiting time. I'm not uncomfortable or anything but been feeling ready to just get to the next steps... I'm at Mile 12 on the half marathon I'm using as a metaphor for pregnancy. Soooo close to the end but feeling like that last 1.1 miles (week or so of pregnancy) is going to stretch on forever....
Braxton Hicks contractions have been getting stronger. She has settled lower. I can breathe and not feel so winded all the time!!! I can eat without always feeling uncomfortably full. And I feel more of her movements in the lower 2/3 of my belly instead of up near the ribs/diaphragm.
Its still fun to look down and see my belly moving around. Surreal, but fun.
Around the house its just final organization/cleaning projects, stocking up on food and keeping on working on the basement.
Otherwise its just all about getting all my ducks in a row ready for my leave!
Ready to be done but also shocking to think that any day now she'll be here on the outside of me.

37.5 weeks!!!!
SAY WHAT???
Very much on the home stretch around here. Last appointment I was informed I'm technically at full term but she's showing no signs of wanting to vacate yet....
Here's me at 37 weeks (last friday) - up 17 lbs total.... all in my belly!
Decorations went up in the nursery, all that's left is final organization/cleaning up the room and continuing to refinish the changing table and the closet. Well that's all that's left for her room... there's still a ton to do in the basement and a bunch of organization I'd like to accomplish in the bathrooms.
Not pictured yet are the constellation paintings on another wall. I'm so happy how her purple and teal outer space themed room turned out!
Childproofing... eh that can wait a few months!
I'm getting sooooo excited to meet her. We have the name figured out and still driving everyone crazy with our plans not to tell. Seriously people, you've waited this long, what's another couple weeks, right? I'm nervous about the process and about getting to know this whole motherhood thing but also feeling just ready to be on to the next step! She doesn't feel like she's dropped at all yet so not any time soon.
