38 Weeks

38 weeks

Finally, the end is definitely in sight. 

7 days!

A week from today I will be holding my sweet baby girl in my arms instead of in the tight space in my tummy. 

Thursday is my last doctor's appointment. I am anxious to see if anything has changed. Especially since we have made two trips to the hospital in the past week. Last Tuesday night they said I was in "Early Labor"... the first stage of Labor and Delivery. So for a week now I have been having consistent contractions. Tuesday night they were very strong, and then again Friday evening. It is frustrating because they tell me to head to the hospital when they are 2-5 minutes apart and very strong to where I can not walk or talk through them... and that is what we did both times.

I am just so thankful that the end is very close.

Full-term Finally!!

36 weeks

37 weeks 

Tomorrow I will officially be 37 weeks along in my pregnancy. It basically means that if I go into labor, Lily will be completely done "cooking" and would not be considered premature.

I have been having a ton of contractions and Braxton Hicks lately. Ever since I got sick at 33 weeks and spent the entire day in the hospital, they have been coming every single day (and night). I think I have had maybe 3 nights of good rest since then. To be honest though, I have not been too tired during the day. I guess it is just nature's way of getting Mommy prepared to be sleep deprived after baby.

15 days till our little baby girl will be in our arms! I have been having mixed feelings lately about her arrival. Of course I am so excited. But I am nervous about how Munchkin will react to her, and him not being the center of attention anymore. He will obviously still be the center of our universe, but he will just have to share the spot light.

Weekly doctor appointments now. Last week doctor said she wouldn't be surprised if she comes before her scheduled arrival date. That is exciting but I am not getting my hopes up. Especially since I'm up about every night with contractions just far enough apart to not head to the hospital or close together but not strong enough just yet.

Let the waiting game begin, or actually continue...
