This day marks the end of my 39th week! On to the last week of pregnancy (or one of the last). I am feeling... sooo pregnant. My last doctor's appointment on Tuesday the 8th went well. Not much news other than she's dropped more, my belly is measuring perfect, and she is getting ready for her birthday. I read the other night that the baby's brain sets off a relay of chemical messages that kick off a chain reaction of hormones in the mother that start labor. Isn't creation is amazing? So she'll decide her day. In the meantime, I am waddling around doing the best I can to have a healthy mindset in the waiting process. It's easy to feel excited when I start to feel back aches or cramps and think...is this it? Then, they go away. All part of preparation I am sure. I know she has the perfect environment in there, so I won't rush her. Though if she chooses to come early...we are ready. My mom, sister in law Shannon, and my nieces visited us yesterday...it was so nice to see them. My mom hung up the curtains in the babies room...which really tops it off...and Shannon who is just a month behind me in pregnancy and I bonded over pregnancy issues. Emma and Megan my nieces are ridiculously sweet and cute, and gave Eric the sweetest "welcome home from work" hugs and kisses...that I think it made him all the more excited to come home to a daughter of our own. Oh, and we got a video camera...to capture all the first moments and then some of her life!
