Pregnancy Update
My baby counter tells me I have 3 weeks left!
Where did the time go?
My body is definitely getting ready for the big event. My hips are dislodging themselves, making walking seem like a chore at times, and stairs, well I have to be really motivated to go up stairs!
Like I've mentioned before, God made the gestation period of 9 months just long enough so that you'll do anything, even go through a painful labour, to get the baby out!
I'm at the point where I just want to get to the pushing part. At least then I feel like I'm actually doing something and I know it won't be much longer till I can see my baby!
I am beginning to get the baby stuff out, but I'm a bit panicky that I'm not completely ready yet. I still have to set up the bed, something I want to do this week. I have dug out the newborn clothes and have begun to wash them, but I don't have the dresser for them set up either!!
I did find a stroller at a consignment store that has the car seat that fits onto it. I was very excited to find it! My old stroller was, well, old. I wanted one that the car seat could attach to so you don't have to wake the baby when getting in and out of the van!
Speaking of van, we won't be able to travel as a family in one vehicle after the baby is born. We thought we had some bench seats lined up to install and turn our 7 passenger into an 11 passenger, but that fell through.
Hubby bought me some fruity soap for my hospital bag. Mmmm...it smells like lemonade! What else do I bring to the hospital? Trail mix! You never know what time that baby is going to come and the food at our hospital is horrible. Even the nurses tell you to get somebody to bring you in something else to eat!
And sour candies. After all of that breathing I always have what I call 'deadmouth'. Nothing wakes it up like sours!
I also bring my own pillow. I might not get very much sleep while there, but at least I can be comfortable!
I guess I'm babbling a bit...but there's not much to report on...just aches, pains, and preparations!
