39 Weeks

I have had multiple people texting me and facebooking me to ask me how I was doing and, if I've had this baby yet!  So, first off, because I know that it's all you REALLY care about... No, I have not had the baby yet.

Now to me.  I am doing fairly well, considering I am 39 weeks pregnant and the largest I have ever been!!  I am getting anxious about the baby's arrival and am ready to feel a little bit more normal.  I know the exhaustion won't go away completely, but I'm hoping the allergies and headaches and being uncomfortable at least tone themselves down a little bit.  Altogether though, I am not miserable.  Sleeping is getting more difficult and the baby's movements are fairly uncomfortable for momma now; she is still a wiggle worm like her mom used to be and her dad still is, she'll probably stay this way for years to come!

I do feel fairly prepared.  All of the clothing and blankets are washed and put away, my bags are packed (for the most part) and the pack n' play is set up.  I've had my intake interview at the hospital so paperwork is done and I just have to finish filling out the birth certificate (will do the VERY last touches after she is born... like her name, which is still not decided!)  Now I just have to wait until she's ready!

So, keep an eye out on facebook for pictures or for when my mom checks me into the hospital (Kadlec Medical Center)... I've given her this duty to let you all know when I am in labor and fully admitted into the birthing center.  I do ask for all friends and family to refrain from rushing to the hospital as soon as I go into labor because it can be a VERY long process and you may just have to wait in the hallway for hours until the baby and mom are ready to see your beautiful faces!! :) There will be a picture of my little girl on facebook as soon as she is (and I am) all cleaned up and mom or I will post all the details (she'll tag me in everything so that all of my facebook friends can see!) And then... of course, I'll try to post a blog... although you know how great I am about that.  Visitors are welcome to come by the hospital or at my house after the baby is born, just text me and I'll let you know if then is a good time!

Love to you all!  I'll try to keep this updated and get a couple more good belly pictures before I don't have a belly anymore! (Excited for that day!!!)
