YAY! We made it another week :) Baby is hanging in there but did give us a bit of a scare this past weekend. Some AC, relaxing, and lots of water calmed things back down. Maybe it was the family camp out in the 100+ weather that set baby off. This week has been full of ups and downs and I seem to feel differently day by day. I am hardly sleeping at night and the amount of pressure I am feeling has reached an all time high. I basically despise wearing clothes and wiggling into a bathing suit almost didn't happen but the amazing relief of floating in the pool made it worth it. I can't seem to get enough watermelon lately but meals are becoming smaller and smaller as my belly gets bigger and bigger. All of baby's clothes and blankets are now washed and folded and I am feeling much better about being prepared. No one seems to think that we will make it close to August 8, including the old lady at my pedicure appointment today who asked me how many days until I was due. When I told her four weeks she confidently said "Uh huh, no way. That baby is ready to come out." Then she told me she was a nurse her whole life. Who knows. One day it will seem labor is imminent and the next day I will feel like I still have weeks left. . Baby is definitely running out of room but instead of calming down, it only seems to be more active, stretching and pushing for space. My goal for the next few days is to get our bag packed and to get Jameson to build a base for the bassinet. I am so looking forward to our appointment next Tuesday and getting to see baby's little face. It will also mean we made it to the 37 week mark and that we can deliver in the birthing center. Keeping my fingers crossed and (trying) to keep my feet up!
My face is pretty much exactly how I feel about having my picture taken at nine months pregnant. And notice the room! It's (almost) done! Now just to hang a mirror, pictures, and make it more homey.
