Weeks 35, 36 & 37

I can't believe we're almost in our 38th week. The past few weeks have flown by, and the last couple weeks are going to be here before we know it. I'm praying she doesn't come early, but must say I've been extremely crampy lately, and she feels really low. Almost as if she's kicking or punching my pelvis to try and get out. Sleeping is extremely uncomfortable right now, and my mind won't settle at night as I have so much going through my head. Not to mention, getting up 7 times a night to go to the bathroom doesn't help the sleeping situation either ;-)

I know I've mentioned the Braxton Hicks contractions being pretty bad, but they're only getting worse, which I guess is to be expected. This little girl is taking up every ounce of my belly and stretches from one end to the other all day long. Some of her jabs are actually quite uncomfortable.







As promised, here are some photos of our little girl's nursery. We will need to get letters for her name to place over her crib, but otherwise it's pretty much complete. Cute eh! Sorry Dylan, but it was a bit more fun decorating a little girls room.

And of course, a belly shot. Here I am at 37 weeks and 5 days. At last Friday's doctor's appointment I was measuring perfectly, had gained 22 lbs to date, and all else was good. I do have to say that I'm starting to get nervous about the actual delivery. I haven't really thought too much about it, but it's been on my mind quite a bit lately. And I'm also getting really sad to be away from Dylan for a couple days. I feel like he's going to be so sad, confused, and left out. He'll always be my baby boy - I need to ensure I remind him of this often.
