Not that i expected to have this baby by time i was 38 weeks...but for anyone wondering the baby is still nice and comfy but running out of room with the quickness!
I finished my entire first week of not working. It was a bit hard to get used to i will admit, but once i started working on much needed house projects the week flew by. I finally organized the mess of a room that we call the office. I tackled the closet inside the office as well, which was an absolute disaster. It's so nice to walk by there now and see order. I also did some house cleaning but it turned out to be too much since I've been having more hip trouble since then. Oh well - the house is clean now and ready for baby!
I also had the chance to do lunch with some friends which was great! I also got a pedicure (because pretty feet are a must when you're having a baby), and i got my eyebrows done. I was determined to do these two things before the baby arrived. I know it sounds so strange - but i just couldn't got to the hospital with ugly feet and eyebrows. Once i got my eyebrows done i felt like i was finally ready whenever the baby decided to arrive.
I have my 38 week appointment today at noon. She'll check again for any progress and we'll schedule our next appointment for next week - my due date week! I can't believe it. For as slow as it goes by, it does go by fast as well. I know that makes no sense whatsoever - but some days i look back and think "i never thought i would make it to a week from my due date." Other days it's more like "Wait, what? The baby is coming any time now?!?!" When you think about it, it is almost one year of your life - that's pretty long (when you're growing another human being anyway). When i compare this timeline to when we were getting married i remember that week just flying by. And if this week goes by as fast as last week, I'll be blogging about my 40th week of pregnancy in no time!
No...i still haven't loaded any pictures from 37 weeks but i did take one on St. Patrick's Day. Trust me - it's more green than anyone should have to see. I still need to take one for 38 weeks...such a slacker but hey - as you can see from above I've been a busy girl...getting pedicures and all ;)
The Albano's arrive a week from Thursday! That means April is only days away...again...so hard to believe. Then my Dad and Lisa arrive on the 14th. By that time we'll be half way through the month...and hopefully have a little one!
Off to get ready for the doctor's. More to report soon!

Full term!
This is going to be a pretty boring post...
I'm officially 37 weeks which means we are full term! The baby can come at any time now and be just fine in the outside world. My due date is only two weeks from this Friday which is unbelievable.
I started getting things together today for the hospital bag. I've been hesitant to go too crazy packing a bag because i feel like the more prepared we are the longer it will take for the baby to arrive. Stupid i know, but either way i have started to wash my hospital clothes, get things together for Nathan and put toiletries in the bag. I'm sure I'll unpack it and re-pack a few more times before it's time to go to the hospital.
That's about it for now...boring as i promised.
I don't have a picture for 37 weeks right now. I'm so fricken lazy these days it's ridiculous. I will take one though, i swear.
Tomorrow is my next doctor appointment. If there is anything worth posting i will be sure to do so!
Hope everyone is well.

I knew it wasn't sciatica!
So this whole hip thing has been getting worse - and worse and worse. Although I kept thinking that this had to do with my pre-existing hip issues, the doctors kept saying "oh it's sciatica," and "welcome to pregnancy," whenever I would tell them about the pain. It did start to get frustrating when they would brush me off as another whiney pregnant girl with your run-of-the-mill hip pain, but i just learned to live with the pain and deal with it.
(Jesus, I'm enormous).
It was 66 degrees here on Saturday. It was so beautiful. Nathan got a chance to get out and golf which I was so happy about. I hope he gets a couple more chances between now and when the baby comes. It can't be fun to sit at home with your fat and mobility challenged wife all weekend. Poor guy.
I have my first training event this week for work. Becky and Lynn, my co-workers, are coming along to shadow me as they will be running some of my programs for me while I'm out. They're usually 12 hour days so we'll see how that goes. After this week I'm supposed to start working from home until the baby comes - unless the doctor decides to pull me out altogether when i see her tomorrow. I find that doubtful since they think I'm faking.
OK, I'm done now, i swear.
Hope everyone is well!

Next month!
We can officially say we're having a baby next month! Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and have one at the end of THIS month?!
And just for fun, this is what i found in my bed the other morning...:
Here's to hoping for warmer weather very soon!
