"nesting really is a verb." -erik
yes honey, i know. i've gone a little crazy with the cleaning, washing of clothes, & overall preparing for this little one. erik has been super supportive. he even drove me to ikea during rush hour & rain to get the shelf we hung above the changing table. a 50 minute drive for a $20 shelf. i tried to make it up to him by letting him browse in the kitchen section for as long as he wanted. (this is a new record. i hate browsing. always have) thanks, babe!
clothes are hung in the closet & folded in the right basket. newborn diapers are ready to be worn. the car seat is installed. the nursery is all set...for now :)
we are officially at 35 weeks. 5 weeks to go! braxton hicks contractions are picking up more and more each day. at times they even take my breath away a little. the baby is sitting really high up in my ribs so it makes it difficult to breathe. if i try to talk while i'm walking i get incredibly winded. it is amazing what a tole 25 extra lbs & a baby in the ribs does on a body.
i am blessed to say that i am still sleeping really well. i only wake up a few times in the night & its rare for me not to fall back asleep right away. i have been having really crazy vivid dreams which is funny to say the least. when i wake up i have to make myself snap back in to reality!
we had a wonderful thanksgiving this year celebrating with all the golf view apt neighbors. erik made a delicious turkey & all the neighbors brought over yummy side dishes! that evening we played a little wii & madgab. i'm feeling so blessed & thankful this year...& that is an understatement.
