34 weeks

So, here we are, only 5 weeks to go. I can finally countdown that in about a week my mom will be making her way here with my grandma and that I at least won't be alone with a 3 year old when I go into labor.

After this past weekend, I'm so thankful that I'm going to have help and company! I'm looking forward not getting G ready for daycare every day- I might actually even be on time to work! I'm also looking forward to eating something besides chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese for dinner- I'm kidding, we don't typically eat that, but I feel like we do sometimes! And, I'm looking forward to getting some things accomplished!

So, here I am on Sunday, 1 day shy of 34 weeks, headed off to church.... yes, we wear jeans to church and after getting dressed all week, I'm so relieved that I can throw on comfy jeans to worship God!

I think miss M finally went into a head down position last night. Now, I'm not an expert, but today feels a little different and I'm hating walking down the schools hallway even more! Especially, after I've been sitting in a chair for a few minutes, hours, etc. And, I'm guessing that she's pushing against my bladder again- I'm sure it's obvious as to why I think that.

So, what's happening with M? Well, let me google that for you, because Lord knows that I have no idea! She should be covered in a layer of 'cream cheese' right now (yum!) called vernix, which protects her from pruning up in all of that amniotic fluid. Her fur should be almost completly gone, which is a good thing, because I do not want to give birth to a bear cub! She should also weigh about 5 lbs, another good thing as I try to convince my doctor that I did not have too much ice cream over the past week!

I head off to the doctor next Monday, at week 35, so maybe this time I'll be sure to find out what her heartbeat is, and I can remember to ask if she is indeed in the head down position.

I still have a lot to do to 'get ready' for M to arrive. First, I still need to convince G that there is indeed only one baby in my belly and that there is NOT a baby in her belly! I also need to prep our cloth diaper stash, and figure out our wipe solution. I did get her clothes organized by month, but I did not get G's old clothes out of the bin in the closet.

G and I were able to run to Target on Sunday to pick up a few other necessities- pacifiers, playtex drop ins, milk storage bags, and even a bag of disposable diapers. I do at least have some of her things stored in baskets, so I know a bit better where things are.

But, I promise, I'm not anywhere prepared at this point, and if she were to arrive today, or even next week- I wouldn't be any closer to be ready.

Pray for me- that I can actually gather up some energy and motivation to finally cross a few items off of my 'to-do' list!
