How I know....

I'm 36 weeks pregnant:



*My undergarment tops are getting a wee bit short so my almost 5 year old is lecturing me about modesty

*And when I ask her to do something for me, all of a sudden her back and legs hurt too much or she's too tired (where'd she get that??)

*It takes me a full minute to get up off the floor when I've been cleaning or playing with the girls. Ok maybe not a full minute but it seems like it takes awhile.

*I'm starting to slightly feel the 'heat rush' during my Braxton Hicks contractions

*I sleep with 3 pillows, one for my head and one for each side

*I've got a MOP of hair-no more daily shedfest

*My baby doesn't look or act like a baby anymore *sniff
But she still lets me cuddle her.


*It feels like the baby is having major convulsions inside of me all day long....and all night

*I'm exhausted by 9 a.m.

*I'm cleaning out my house and have piles for goodwill-and we just moved/purged 2 months ago

*My arms are itching to hold a newborn. And that's a big deal for me.

*My hospital suitcase is packed, along with a suitcase for the girls just in case

*Baby laundry is done and put away

*My freezer has at least 8 ready-to-go meals I've made.

I could go on and on...but I won't
We're getting very excited to meet our new baby!

You just make sure that you get looked after once that baby is put into your arms. Make sure you ask for help & do what the dr tells you to help w/ the baby blues/post partem. And remember you are loved! Getting excited for you here too. ;)

What cute fun things you are doing for Christmas, and I can't believe that it is almost time for your little one to arrive. It went by fast. On another note, we drove by your old house yesterday because Porter kept saying that the Nelson's house was yours and we had to show him where your house was. Well, I pointed it out and then broke down in tears. I totally didn't expect that to happen. I really need to call you! Miss you guys!
