37 today

Today marks 37 weeks! I can hardly believe it! We are busy getting everything ready. I have been nesting like crazy, keeping the house clean, keeping up with the laundry and such... I've washed all the baby clothes, put everything away... This weekend I'd like to set up the pack and play, swing and bouncy seats. They're all still in the garage. lol I'd also like to clean out the car and buy the car seat. Yes we have no car seat. hahaha Well, technically we do, we can use big sister's old one. BUT we need a different brand, we have a peg perego, but we were given a graco double stroller and so now we need to buy a graco. Which is fine. Other than that, we are ready! Bags are packed, cameras are charged. :) We're anxious and excited.
I am dreading the 3 day hospital stay b/c I have never been away from my daughter and the thought of spending a couple nights away from her just kill me. I hate it and I can't even think about it w/out wanting to cry. I look at her and already miss her. :( At least at nighttime she'll be home w/ daddy and she will sleep in her own bed. I just hate that I won't be here to tuck her in and kiss her goodnight. :(

Well, I'm feeling every bit of the 37 weeks. I LOVE being pregnant, but we are ready to meet our baby girl and I am ready to not be so uncomfortable.

Here is a comparison shot. My first daughter at 35 weeks vs. my 2nd daughter 36 weeks

36 weeks today...

Today I am 36 weeks. Seems so surreal. Hubby and I are getting anxious and so excited. I KNOW that she's coming, but up to this point, I feel like it's not really happening. But with her arrival so close, it's finally starting to become real. There are baby clothes everywhere :) We are trying to make space in the house for her.. The girls will share a room, but in the beginning baby sister will be sleeping in her pack and play in our room.

The pregnancy is going well. Thankfully there have been no more contractions or scares. I cannot wait to meet this little girl. Par of me hopes these next weeks go by slow b/c I LOVE being pregnant :) BUT I am SO ready to meet my second daughter. :)

35 weeks

I can hardly believe that it's July! Soon our baby will here and I cannot wait to hold her. I think the most exciting part will be having my girls meet for the first time. It's so exciting!

The pregnancy has been going ok. Just taking it easy these days. At 31 weeks I ended up in the hospital with dehydration and contractions. I never experienced contractions w/ my first pregnancy, so this was all new territory to me. I spent the morning timing my contractions, they were anywhere from 3-7 minutes apart. Then I started getting sick. So hubby came home, and shortly thereafter we headed for the doctor. By the time I go to the hospital, my contractions were 1 minute apart. Thankfully after lots of fluid and monitoring, I was sent home. I took it easy for the rest of the week, anytime I did too much the contractions would return. Things are better now, but I'm still taking it slow. In a few short weeks baby sister will be here and everything will return to normal...

We are working on getting everything ready in the house. Today baby girl will get her new big girl bed. I'm so excited! She is so excited and has been asking for it for days. lol I'm really anxious to get their room set up and have 2 beds in there. :)

Well, not much else is going on.. We hit 35 weeks tomorrow, it's flown by and it's bittersweet...
