36 weeks

It is so hard to believe that we are 36 weeks pregnant today! 

Everett's movements are becoming less drastic and usually occur in the same areas. I am sure this is due to his size growing at a rapid pace now. He has discovered some room off to the right side of my body and I am feeling waves of movement there now as he tries to stretch out. I have frequently been waking up at 2:45-3am each night and as my mind begins to run through the lists in my head sleep becomes an absent luxury. So I normally get up and head into the living room where Everett decides this means it's playtime and I feel his heaviest movements all day. I am beginning to think this is preparation for the weeks to come. 

His nursery is nearly complete. I am lacking a few final touches to feel as though it is completely done. And I am so excited for his baby shower this weekend ! I have already seen a few precious gifts purchased for him and am overwhelmed by the love this sweet boy of ours will be wrapped up in. 

 

We have a Dr. appointment today, back with our Dr. who has been out on her own maternity leave, and we will be starting the every week regiment now.

 

So close. Very anxious and completely nervous knowing that he could really decide to come at anytime now.

 

Yesterday as I was getting a pedicure with my Mom the lady beside me couldn't help but share in the delight of our upcoming arrival and talk about her own first grandchild coming in May. There is just something about babies that brings people together.
