Weeks 36 & 37

Well, as I predicted the past week and a half has been insane! From cleaning the house to packing our overnight bags, it has been a whirlwind of craziness. Everyday there is somehting we are doing or trying to get done. It's so funny that you have 9 months to prepare but you really prepare in the last month. Or we have! lol. I guess we just work better under pressure. :) We have cleaned out our box room and it is now a functioning second guest room! Woohoo! We have our overnight bags packed which is really weird. It was weird washing a packing little baby clothes. And when I say bags I mean like 4 bags. I am one of those that likes to be prepared and so I did a little research to see what all was needed in the bags. We have a clothes bag that has our bathroom stuff, we have two bags for him, and we have a snack bag! I heard this was very important so I took it upon myself to make sure we wouldn't go hungry! hehe.
We are putting the finishing touches on his room. Finally got shelves up and the side table painted. It looks more and more like a nursery! ABout time huh?
We have had a few shoots over the past week and man has it been hot! We even managed to have our maternity pics taken (by my awesome partner)! So glad we got that done.
Well, I can definately say that if he were to come right now I would totally be ok with it. Actually, I would be more than ok with it! I have reached that state where miserable doesn't even cover it. My body has pretty much given up on me!
I went to the doctor last Friday and was told I was measuring 41 weeks, 2 cm dilated, 70% effaced (still) and he is still under 7lbs! Now, my next appt is this Thursday and my dr said she would strip/sweep my membranes if I wanted. What is this? This is where she seperates the bag of water from the side of the uterus. She said it would basically feel like an exam so I shouldn;t notice that much what she was doing. This can sometimes start labor. So, one of two things will happen. One- I start having contractions and nothing happens and my hopes are shot down or two- I can go into labor in like 12-24 hours after having this done! I;m going with option number 2 pls! So, when you lay down tonight say a little prayer that this works! And maybe we will have a little one by this weekend! Can't believe it's almost here!

My pretty pusher made it! These are delivery gowns that are a little more stylish than the lovely ones provided by the hospital!
