37 Weeks

I had my 37 week appointment today and nothing too exciting to report. My doctor said that the head is further down than last week and that I am not dilated but I am starting to thin. I can't believe how close it is getting! I still feel like I have a lot to do- but I have been going crazy cleaning and trying to set up everything in preparation.
It is getting harder and harder to work as much as I am because by the end of the day I am so tired and I am noticeably swollen in my hands and feet. My back has also been sore lately- but enough complaining- soon enough I will have a beautiful little girl and I can't wait!

Last But Not Least...

Saturday I had my last baby shower which was thrown by friends from high school. It was a mix of friends and family and I am grateful to everybody who was able to attend. That being the last shower means that the baby will be here in no time at all. We have our last class tonight too and it is becoming all too real what is around the corner! I must say that I don't know if I am quite prepared yet- but as I was reassured several times this past weekend- I will never be fully prepared. I am not sure if that comforts me knowing that nobody is really prepared or if it freaks me out even more.
