36 Weeks & Final Baby Shower!
Thursday marked the beginning of my 36th week of pregnancy! After this week, she will be considered ‘full term’ which is great news for me, because I’d really like her to arrive before her due date! I was imagining last night how nice it will be to roll over in bed without any effort! What a treat! Anyway, 36 weeks: Lily is starting to lose all of the little hair that has been coating her body up till this point and she is still gaining weight! Hopefully we’ll get a better idea of what she actually weighs at our next appointment on Thursday! BabyCenter estimates that she is about 6 lbs. In the ‘How Your Life is Changing’ section, it said that things are getting more uncomfortable these days – confirmed! While I’d love to be a graceful and glowing 9 month pregnant woman, I am just not feeling it. I am ready for her to be out of my tummy and in my arms and hopefully be comfortable in my body again!
I spent this past week organizing everything from the mega shower and washing clothes and blankets. I made GREAT headway (assembled the car seat/stroller, swing, bouncy seat, etc!) and felt really good about my progress – until yesterday! My co-workers threw me a lovely shower and, again, were incredibly generous! We got some really great stuff and of course, cute girly clothes! Now I’m back at square one, more laundry and organizing is ahead of me! If anything, all of the nesting has made for very good sleeps!
I continue to find out left and right that people close to me are pregnant! I’m excited to be a part of a wonderful community of mothers! I’m envisioning lattes in the sun outside of Starbucks while our kiddies nap in their strollers. Fun!
