Overstuffed Turkey

I am in the midst of Week 38 and now I know what all those preggers were complaining about before -- I feel like an overstuffed turkey. And by no means is my belly as big as I have seen on some women, but man this is getting uncomfortable. At my last appt. the Dr. said there was no progress towards labor, so I guess this little gal likes it in there. I have somewhat lost my appetite as well and really have been losing weight rather than gaining in these last weeks.

Baby prep is going pretty well, her room is almost done. Just waiting for the dresser and chair to arrive. We still haven't purchased a crib mattress yet, but she won't be sleeping in it for awhile. We have the playpen with bassinet set up in our room. I have experienced some of those Braxton Hicks contractions, which aren`t very pleasant, but I`m sure nothing compared to the real thing.

Really hard to believe the big day is almost here! Over three years in the making.

34 Weeks

Almost at 34 weeks and can hardly believe it! Can't wait to meet my baby girl. Started our prenatal classes and trying not to get freaked out about the whole birthing process. Every woman experiences a different birth so I can't get too caught up in what has happened with others. Thought at first I would do it all naturally, but I think I will remain open to an epidural. My DH is convinced I will so be getting an epidural, and he may be right. As long as she enters this world healthy and strong, that's all I care about. Would be nice if labor doesn't last too long though : )
