38 Weeks

Sweet Pea!! You are almost here! This week has been a quick one, we have been preparing with all of the last minute details like getting your pediatrician lined up, getting your insurance ready, starting your baby book, and getting last minute "mommy and daddy" documents finished. We had an appointment this week, and you are nestled head down in the birthing position. The doctors say you are healthy and almost ready to make your debut! I wasn't dilated at our 38 week 5 day appointment, but everything else is getting into place. I have grown so huge, it is difficult to get around, and sitting on the yoga ball seems to be the only way I can get comfortable.

Grand Marmee and I went shopping this week at Babies R Us, and I finally got to park in the "Expectant Mommy"parking!

Your daddy and I have been calling you lumpy, because every time we go to the doctor you are facing my back, so your butt and shoulders make big lumps on my tummy! :)

This week all of the parenting blogs suggested Daddy and I go to the movies, since we won't be going for quite some time. It was Mommy's choice and I picked Star Trek: Into the Darkness. I know it sounds super nerdy, but it was pretty good! (And you liked the sounds -- you were moving quite a bit).

We put the finishing touches on your room this week, so it is ready for YOU! Here is your daddy hanging the blinds in your room:

I have been having contractions this week, and all of the symptoms of  pre-labor seem to be in full swing. Heartburn has been intense, and the blood circulation has me very swollen! We keep laughing at how swollen my fingers and toes have become. We are calling them fishstick toes and hotdog fingers! We are getting so excited to finally meet you. Your daddy and I just start smiling sometimes out of nowhere...it is all from the pure excitement of getting to meet our little Sammy face to face!

XXOO,

Mommy
