Holy crap I'm next! Now that Nikki has had/is having Kennedi I'm the next grad up to bat!

I guess a little update is in order...

I swear my DH is starting to go into shock. Every night he will say "I can't believe we're going to have a baby here in about a month!" at least 5 times!

I'm definitely at the point where I'm pushing us to get everything done. The "plan" is to have everything set and ready to go in the nursery by 37 weeks. Everything major is already done, but I'd like to tie up any loose ends as well. I also plan on packing my bag (for the most part) this weekend and next week. I know that's kind of early, but since having some pre-term contractions back at 27/28 weeks I'd just feel better knowing it's ready to go in case we go early. Especially after having to spend the night in L&D and having NOTHING with me. That is not something I want to go through again... I haven't had any contractions at all in ages and don't honestly think I will end up going into labor early, but I'm the type that likes to be prepared for any situation... We brought the cradle up to our bedroom last weekend so that the dogs could adjust to it being in there. Yeah, neither of them could care less!

They sniffed it once and were completely indifferent. I guess that's good! I think they're both going to be great with the baby - though I'm sure Brodie (our bichon) will spend a few days under the bed in the beginning. That's just how he is...

I'm feeling pretty good. I've just gotten into that part of pregnancy where everything becomes a little uncomfortable. Yippie.

Baby moved head down at last (or at least I think she did!) and now my hips hurt like they're being stretched open. Not bad pain, just achy - almost like when you start a new workout routine and for the first few days after you're sore while you're body adjusts. I don't sleep very well most of the time, so I just kind of drag through the work day. And I swear, if one more person tells me "it's just your bodys way of adjusting for baby to be here" I'm going to punch them! I don't care if that is the case, when 16 people tell you that in one day it can be downright annoying!

Yeah, so I'm not the nicest person to be around lately. I definitely snap a lot easier, especially at poor DH. Luckily he's a good sport about it. I told him long ago not to take it personally, and he doesn't. Heck, half the time he'll just start laughing at me. I love that he thinks all of this is so funny.

So yeah, that's where I'm at. Only like 5 weeks to go!
