36 weeks!



Today marks week 36 of my pregnancy. We had a doctor's appointment today and everything looked great. The baby remains head down, great heart rate, and very active. I can tell the baby is really growing, it just feels much bigger in my belly. I'm feeling good, somedays I have tons of energy and continue nesting like crazy, other days I feel like I can't keep my eyes open. The nursery is pretty much completely ready besides a few small things left to do. On friday I was feeling exceptionally energetic and Jeremy and I washed both our cars, cleaned the insides and vacuumed both too. We then proceeded to install car seat bases, mirrors, and window shades. I'm just obsessed lately with wanting everything to be completely ready before the baby gets here. Even things that aren't directly related to the baby, but I've wanted to do for a while, I feel the need to complete. To date, we've cleaned out every closet in our house, painted every room that we hadn't previously (except for our bathroom which we will do this week!), cleaned out our garage completely, reorganized every cabinet and drawer and even had some landscaping done! We've been very fortunate to have both of our mom's down at some point to help us get these jobs done! All in all, we're ready for our baby to arrive and so very excited. We can't wait to hold our sweet baby in our arms. We finished the last of our childbirth classes tonight, so we're feeling somewhat educated about it all. As far as mentally, emotionally and physically prepared...we're doing the best we know how. We trust the Lord and know He will guide us through it all and give us the peace and strength we need. Please continue to pray for us and our little one, that these last few weeks will go well and the labor and delivery will be smooth and without any problems at all.
