35 Weeks
I am starting to get a little nervous for Baby Girl to make her appearance into this world, but still so incredibly excited. We've been pretty busy over the past few weeks with Christmas, the New Year, and getting ready for our little one to arrive.
I am still feeling pretty good but experiencing some of the not-so-fun effects of the final weeks of our pregnancy. Sleeping is getting progressively more uncomfortable and difficult and I am waking through the night with hip and belly pain. I can't put on my socks or shoes without grunting. I feel like my belly is stretched to its maximum limit but I am reminded by very loving family and friends that I will still get much, much bigger over the next five weeks. I know they are right but find it difficult to comprehend.
I am feeling Baby Girl move a lot throughout the day and night. She squirms and kicks and wriggles all the time now. She gets the hiccups almost every day and it makes my belly jump. A week ago I snuggled up to Scott's back in bed and Baby squirmed and kicked him in the back a few times. He thought it was really pretty cool and I was laughing.
Baby and I had our check-up last week and the midwife said that everything is looking really good. We talked a little about our birth plan and what to expect during labor and delivery. YIKES!!!
Baby's rooms is really coming together. My dad, Papa, painted the room a beautiful light green color with white trim and Scott put the crib together. Mom and I did some shopping and she bought a beautiful pale purple quilt to go on the full-size bed that we will keep in Baby's room.
I have my second baby shower this coming Tuesday and I scheduled a vacation day for Wednesday. My mom is going to stay with us Tuesday night and we will spend Wednesday finishing all of the organizing in Baby's room, washing clothes, and doing any shopping that may still be left.
