As of tomorrow I am 36 weeks pregnant! That means the baby is full term and can come out anytime now! :)
I'm convinced the last 4 weeks of pregnancy are really the longest weeks. Once the doctor says, "Now that you're full term, we wouldn't stop your labor if the baby decided to come." So of course, in the back of my mind for 4 weeks I think the baby will come any day now... it's terrible false hope!
We still haven't solidified a name for the baby. We have decided not to push Gabriella into her big girl bed before the baby is born. So we'll be using a cradle that my sister is giving us until Gabs is ready. Which means the baby will be in our room or in the office for awhile.
I've outgrown some of my maternity clothes... which is always slightly annoying. My favorite outfits are skirts (which are all non-maternity) or sweats. I wear Jordan's shirts a lot because they don't make me feel like I'm suffocating.
This is my favorite outfit right now

I downloaded a "contraction ap" for my phone, so for fun last night I was timing my braxton hicks. They were coming every 10 minutes and lasting for about 30 seconds - a minute. I only timed it for like 30 minutes because it was right before I went to bed, but I was surprised with how often they were coming. Monday night I was woken up from my sleep because of a strong contraction.
I'm also convinced that during the last few weeks of pregnancy I have the strangest dreams! Last night I dreamt the baby was kicking so hard I could see every detail of it's foot and all the way up to it's knee. Creepy!
Tonight we're preregistering and taking a tour of the hospital. I'm excited to see everything in person and get the registration out of the way. My bag is packed for the hospital, so after tonight we're ready to have this baby! :)
I thought your pregnancy with Gabri went fast but wow! This one is really flying by! Can't believe you're nearly due! So exciting!!
ReplyDeleteA baby in the office and in your room ... sounds familiar! That's how it was for Eli for 18 months but then you know that already:-)
Can't wait to meet your new little one! I love him/her already! And I love you!
