So here I am at 38 weeks. Our baby is due in less than 2 weeks! We're so excited. I decided that Friday would be my last day so I let the school know on Wednesday. Now all I have to do is change our spare bedroom from a storage/computer room to a nursery/computer room (we decided that since we're moving by the end of summer it doesn't make sense to relocate the computer). In preparation for that I started to catch up on laundry yesterday and finished this morning. I also cleaned the kitchen and started rearranging things in the closet (we took one load of stuff to Dave's parents for storage a few weeks ago) now that there is more room. We'll probably get Dave's drafting table and some art supplies down to his parents house tomorrow and then bring up our changing table and crib. Then the real fun will begin and after that our baby can come whenever he wants and I won't feel unprepared.
Now people keep commenting on how little I am which is kind of nice (no one wants to feel huge) but I do have to let you all know that as nice as it probably looks to you all, I assure you that my baby is normal sized. He has been in my lungs for months and has been pushing on my pelvis for weeks. He has always been nearly in my ribs and now they are his favorite kicking place because he is completely in them. Not that I mean to complain because I couldn't be more thrilled to be having this little guy. Dave and I have wanted kids for a long time. I'm just saying that when you are pregnant and sticking out into the world you need to remember 2 things. 1-sticking out pregnant is cute, much better than kinda just looking fat which I did until about 2 weeks ago. 2-as uncomfortable as you are I'd be willing to bet your innards are quite pleased that the baby hasn't squished them all up. 3-(I know I said only two but I just thought of one) I have stretch marks too so it doesn't matter that I held my baby all on the inside.
I love you all . . . thanks for reading with me and keeping me company, being my friends, and making me feel like I'm cute in my tiny but uncomfortable pregnancy. I am excited to introduce our little guy to you all soon.
