Week 36

36 Weeks

Jon and I just finished ordering the remaining baby items we need - a few mattress pads, sheets, cloth diapers, etc. I'm really pumped about the diapers. I got one package from Amazon yesterday and hopefully the rest will arrive today or tomorrow. It's exciting to be putting the finishing touches on the nursery and having everything set up and ready to go for the arrival of our son. The last thing we need to do is finish packing our bags for the birth center. We already have Henry's bag packed and the car seats installed :) Although I just remembered I need to add a hat for him!

37 weeks marks full term - so assuming I don't go into early labor, I could be having this baby anytime between next week and the last week of June! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for sooner rather than later, mostly because I'm down to 2 maternity dresses that fit and I'm not sure how much longer I can get away with wearing the same thing to work every day. Also, I'm anxious to meet my baby. Also, I'm REALLY anxious to not be pregnant anymore!

In case you're wondering, I currently have 5 patches of stretch marks. Thankfully none are right on my stomach, but I do have one on each hip, a few boob marks, and a really pretty one on my inner thigh. I know they'll fade, but yuck, they are super ugly right now! 

I'm really looking forward to wrapping up and work and having 6 weeks off to spend with my baby. I know that time is going to fly by! I've been "nesting" at work and organizing my office, preparing for the time away.
