Pregnancy Update - 38 1/2 Weeks

We're getting close...my due date is approaching fast.  I've gotten a lot done but still have some things to do.

I'm feeling uncomfortable but since I can see the end in sight I'm managing just fine.  The girls are getting more frustrated that I can't hold them and walk around the house, that it's totally uncomfortable to sit on my lap and that their mom has a lot less patience then she used to.  They're ready for me to be back to normal and I'm ready to get my body back.  Nevertheless we are so excited to meet this little guy.  I can't wait to see what he will look like, how big he'll be and how the girls will react to the whole situation.

Work is winding down.  I still have a long to do list to get done and each day is super busy but I'm looking forward to being off and enjoying time at home.

The nursery is done.  We decided to keep the girls in separate rooms and so this baby will be in his own room at the end of the hall in my office/storage room.  It's taken time to get it all cleaned up but we're finally there.

The letters of his name are painted and decorated and ready to hang.  Stay tuned for the name....

We got out the girl's infant car seats to clean up and get one ready for him.  The girls decided to try them out.  They look so huge in those.  Sorry for the lack of clothes, we had just come inside from playing in their water table and were soaked and about to go get in their pajamas.

We also turned the girls forward facing in their car seats this week since they will be moved to the back of the van and it's going to be hard enough to get back there and buckle them in and I wasn't going to do it with them facing backwards.  It's only 6 weeks early so I felt ok with that.  They loved facing forward and were even more excited when we turned on a little video for them.

Things left to do...get my blog totally updated (we're close), get my toes painted (appointment has been made) and pack my hospital bag (list is made).

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a really active little baby.  He is crazy moving all around all the time.  Right now as I type this I can see my stomach moving on both ends.  He likes to push his heel straight up into my stomach and I can see this very visible point sticking out of my shirt when he does that.  Last night I woke up to what I swear was him doing jumping jacks at 4am.  He was kicking both sides up and down.  I rolled over hoping that would settle him down but it still took another 10 mins of him doing that before he stopped.  Crazy little boy.

So that's the latest on this pregnancy.
