37?!
Can this even be true? Full term? 37 weeks? The time has flown by, but then when I actually look back it seems like I've been pregnant forever. Friday night I packed my hospital back, well I put some things in a pile- pretty close to packing right? And tonight I packed up our diaper bag. Some of the things I don't think I'll need in the hospital, but I LOVE my diaper bag and what if we had to go somewhere right after we left the hospital and the baby needed his diaper changed? I must be prepared.
Here are a few updates:-This baby is up in my ribs. It's making sitting difficult. And three hours at church today felt like an eternity!
-Sometimes I get so much energy to get things done and get things ready for the baby {nesting}, but then I get SO exhausted. It's one of those times where I forget that I am pregnant and growing a human inside of my belly.
-Still working out! This deserves an exclamation point. I am so grateful that I am still able to, although I almost peed doing jumping jacks last week. I have to make adjustments to my workouts. -Running sometimes gives me contractions.
-Heidi is 33 weeks! It has given me so much comfort to be able to go through this with my sister.
-I feel like our baby could come any day now, so we have our parents on call. Mike's mom now sleeps with her phone by her bed. Every time I call my mom she answers the phone with hello?!?! with the tone of "are you in labor?! Do I need to buy a plane ticket?" That day will be SO exciting/a little nerve racking.
-I refuse to watch a birth video. I started to watch one one day and very quickly turned it off. I have read a few books and articles galore, so I know exactly what my body is going to be doing, but I do not want to see it and have that visual before hand. It will just freak me out. Mike watched one this morning though as we were laying in bed. I wish I had recorded his expressions. They were priceless.
-I have a few sewing projects for the baby that I need to do this week. Baby mittens, changing pad for the diaper bag, hooded towel, more burp cloths (because I just love the ones that Megan made for me!).
-Mike is going to be the best father. He is most excited for skin on skin time. I can't wait for our little babe and him to interact. I hope our son grows up to be just like him and looks to him as an example of a righteous priesthood holder.
That's it for baby news.
Things are really looking up in Utah. The weather here has been so nice. Like 60-70 degrees nice. After the horrid winter temperatures combined with my higher body temperature it's basically like summer. Yesterday I laid on the couch with the windows open and I listened to the birds chirping in the trees while I read my pregnancy book. Hello spring! You can stay for a while!
