Week 36 - She is done!

Sofia is officially "complete" by the end of this week.  All systems are in place and ready to go.  From now on it will just be adding a few pounds before the big day view.  I have started to get Braxton Hicks contractions and I'm keeping a record just to make sure they are not the real thing.  They kind of hurt!  but they also don't last too long.

I will really miss feeling her move around in my belly, it is one of the neatest things I've ever felt.  Though now it's more of a rolling around.  But I'm also ready to see her!!  33 days to go... though I ready only about 5% of babies make it by their due date.

We were busy this weekend.  We were having a nice calm breakfast at Starbucks while watching the rain when he got a phone call to go to the office.  We had a lot of rain (up to 6 inches in two hours) and the roof in Thomas' office leaked and flooded the whole building.  We spent Saturday morning trying to salvage letters and documentation.

Then on to the house because I got the nesting instinct big time!  We (more like Thomas) decided to live with the paint job and we went ahead and steam-cleaned the carpet and moved all the furniture into the room.  It is a bit crammed in there but it works.   Got all the clothing, diapers, and toys organized.  I still have a little more to do so I'm sure we'll be busy this weekend as well.

Sunday we took it easy.  Had breakfast, then to church, the movies, and a brief trip to the mall.  I am packed for the hospital, though I need a couple more things.  I tried to get all I need without over-packing.  I used a couple of checklists on line but if there was the one thing you definitely used that is not that obvious do share :)

Hi!

We are also ready to meet Sophia and also very excited, only one more month left!

When you plan ahead, you will receive the benefits of it, one is pace, now you could relax and live this last step, anyhow you have to take into account, like in getting married, something will be missing, something could not be planned in advance.

Good tracking so far.

Thanks for all the information and new knowledge, at least for me.

Sounds like you're ready, good job mama! I had to pack my bag while in labor w/D'Lee since she came 3 weeks early. I'll pray for a speedy arrival!
