37 Weeks!

I cannot believe I made it to full term! It just goes to show how different each pregnancy can be, and to think that my first doctor told me I was more likely to deliver even earlier this time. I am officially off my anti-contraction meds, thank goodness! It was so weird going to my appt. today, during my pregnancy with Isabella and so far throughout this whole pregnancy the doctor and nurse were always asking me how my contractions were because it was a bad thing. Now today, they were acting all excited when asking about my contractions, I just can't believe I'm at this point. I've dilated more, and my doctor wants to see me in less than a week, instead of my usual weekly appt. I asked him to make a prediction, and he said he still thought it would be another week to week and a half. I cannot wait to have this baby, I'm so excited!! I even have all my "before baby comes" projects done that I wanted to do. My main project was going through all my pictures and putting them in photo albums, it was a huge job because I hadn't done anything with them since Isabella was about 11 months old. I vow to keep on top of that now! And the nesting is a bit out of control - I'm sure the baby will really appreciate that every piece of crystal was taken out of the china cabinet and washed in anticipation of his or her arrival! I've made up some freezer meals as well. We should be set when it comes to food, since my mom will be coming to stay the first week home from the hospital, Monte's mom will be coming the following week, then my awesome Bible Study friends bring meals for about 3 weeks straight. Between all that and my freezer meals we should be set for about the first 6 weeks!

SO awesome! My bible study group is starting to ask about you more. :>) Lots of prayers coming your way from Nebraska! I'll have to step them up a bit so I make sure I'm sending some up while you're in labor. :>) You'll have to excuse me for being so thrilled that you're full term - I don't have even the tiniest stake in this at all but I'm so excited for you!
