In the Home Stretch

 36 Weeks

Tomorrow I will be 38 weeks pregnant and I can't believe the end is so near! I'm getting pretty excited and ready to have this baby. I don't want to get my hopes up that he will come soon, but you never know. I know first time moms tend to take longer so I will just have to be patient.

I'm getting pretty uncomfortable and it's getting harder and harder to get everyday tasks done because I get tired so easily. I'm so thankful that I'm able to rest when I need too and stay off of my feet when they start to swell.

I've had some nesting "spurts," but I've yet to clean the whole house from top to bottom and I'm okay with that. :) I also had lots of big plans to fill the freezer with homemade food, but just can't find the motivation to do that so I bought some ready made things. The problem is now that there's prepared food in the house I'm eating it already! Oh well I'll just have to keep it stocked I guess.

I'm trying to stay active and take my dog on walks when I can. It's been pretty mild and warm this winter so I'm glad I've been able to get out more than I thought I would. I've been taking evening primrose oil in preparation for labor this week and trying to keep up with my exercises.

I've been having quite a few Braxton Hicks each day and at my last visit I was already starting to dilate. I know it doesn't mean much but it gives me hope that my body is heading in the right direction! The last week has been filled with lots of reading and crocheting. I can't seem to find the energy to do much else. Besides, I have lots of books that I need to finish before my little boy gets here!

I've wanted to post pictures of the nursery but, I'm still waiting on my husband to hang some things. That post might have to wait until after our little one arrives. I can't wait!!
