37.5 weeks

I've officially hit the 'end of pregnancy nesting phase'.

Could I be having that last burst of energy before baby comes?!

I want to clean everything, cook, move things around.

I keep dragging poor Hubs out shopping using the excuse:

  "this might be the last time we can do this together!"

or

"next time we go out together we'll have a screaming baby!"

he's getting really sick of hearing that.

but it does work to get him to do things ;)

Tonight I had a little scare when I went to the bathroom (warning: this might gross some people out) and thought I lost my mucus plug. Since we didn't have time to go to any actual birth classes we've been watching a class on dvd - and this lady who teaches the 'dvd class' is so overly dramatic and makes things like losing your mucus plug sound like a huge dramatic ordeal. 

Maybe it is?

Anyway....

Turns out, I had been eating pretzels and one was (messy pregnant eater) stuck on my sweatshirt and fell into the toilet which made the little ker-plunk sound. 

I panicked for a second.

Then was super embarrassed.

Then realized: "Oh my gosh - this really could start happening at any time."

I'm SO ready for this all to get going and to have my Sweet Thing in my arms.

Still a little early though - be patient Mama. 

37.5 weeks

So far I've gained 20 pounds and have no stretch marks.

I'm praying I don't get any in the next few weeks either!

I am so anxious to work on getting my body back into shape after recovery. 

I need to wear cute clothes and dresses again!
