37 Weeks - Waiting game begins!

I am starting my 37th week and I am feeling pretty good considering she is the size of a watermelon. Or so they say! It is very surreal that she can come any day now - and the fact that I am "full-term" is a little weird for sure. But alas, the waiting game begins and Steve and I are just trying to enjoy our final days as a "kid-free" couple!

This weekend is St. Patricks day and if anyone knows Steve and I - its the holiday that is even more important than Christmas, or at least on the same scale!! We are planning on going out - only to Pearl St, somewhere close to home on the just in case factor - but nonetheless, we are still planning on having a fun St. Pattys day! Crazy to believe that this time last year, I was doing a handstand contest with our 6'5 friend Josh and yelling at everyone, "YOU WHORE!" ... but times have changed and I guess the drunk St. Patty's day will be behind me! At least for this year! HA!

This past weekend, I had some of the girls over to help me put up a tree decal ... it was one of those things where I bought it, got it out of the tube and immediately said - HELL NO. So I had some friends over to help me! (lets be honest - I just did not want to do the work!!) So ... slowly but surely - the nursery is getting completed!

But everything is still going great, we have a doctors appt. on Friday and we will see how that goes. We just cannot wait for Emerson to get here!!

And now - some random pics!

Pregnancy brain .... Oh and I am 34 weeks already.

So I completely forgot that I had a blog - I even said to myself the other day - Man, I wish I was blogging about this pregnancy. Oh wait ...

So this week - I am at 34 weeks. Its been going by so fast and I am starting to hit a wall. I am starting to feel uncomfortable, starting to get little smokies for fingers and toes - I am just starting to feel like I am ready to not have all this extra weight on me!! I have been very blessed with my pregnancy thus far so I hate complaining, but it is starting to get hard to walk, hard to get up from a laying down position and the heart burn is unbearable at times. But again, I have been very lucky so far.

Since my last post - our friends Alicia and Darren had their baby boy, Lincoln. I think once we saw them with a newborn - the reality of having a baby soon set in! But again, I keep thinking - if they can do it, we can do it! And they seem to be doing great. Steve and I ask them all the questions that none of our other friends are asking them (how is breastfeeding, are you sleeping, how long does he sleep, is there a shit ton of shit .....) so it is really nice to have people that are ahead of us in this adventure! And its really great that Steve has a male friend that he can go to!

The nursery is slowly getting there - I am still in the process of putting away stuff from my baby shower and all the clothes that Jess had for me that does not fit Maycie anymore. Its so overwhelming - and of course I want to keep everything because all the clothes are so damn cute!

I have a doctors appt. on Friday and I hope they tell me if she has moved head down or even how much they think she weighs at this point. I think we are both just really excited to finally meet her!!
