36.5 weeks

Okay, these last two weeks have been interesting.
I am getting more and more uncomfortable, which is a shame since I have had such a wonderful pregnancy. My feet are really bothering me! They hurt and are so swollen. Ugh.
I am so big now that sleeping is no longer fun and getting up to pee in the middle of the night is next to impossible, since I have pretty much NO stomach muscles left!
Last night was my first experience with Braxton Hicks since the first trimester (when I got dehydrated). I was freaking out. I haven't even packed my hospital bag yet and of course everything I want to bring to the hospital was dirty!!! So I started doing laundry at 11pm and Ryan just rubbed my belly til I fell asleep. I was in a panic for sure. I don't think I am ready just yet. The baby room needs one or two more nights of work on it before it is completely done, our house is thrashed, we still have one more birthing class, we have not pre-registered at the hospital, the car is almost out of gas, etc., etc. We are going to work hard today so if that happens again tonight, at least I will know that I am prepared!
K, lets step out of negative town :). The baby nursery is beautiful! My vision was nothing compared to how it actually how it turned out! I love it. Thanks to everyone who helped...especailly Grandpa Joe who did all the back-breaking labor! :)
Okay, I have a Dr. appointment at 9am, wish me luck!
