37 Weeks

37 weeks and feeling big

Well, I'm 37 weeks pregnant and can have Grace anytime. I can't believe that I'm considered full term. I feel like Grace is going to be inside me for a little while longer but I also think I'm getting huge so I keep thinking she might be early. Yeah I know I should convince myself she's going to be late and the doctors tell you that 1st babies will be late to help keep your patience up. I'll be totally fine if Grace is late because what's 1 week in the big picture. I just can't wait to meet our baby. Today I went to the doctor and she told me that Grace was head down and I had dropped. She even had Matt and I feel the head. It was pretty cool. I know the fact that she's dropped doesn't predict anything as far as when she will come but it encouraging to know my body is preparing for labor.

Our friends Kortny and Jeremiah had their baby girl one week early this Sunday and it pretty much put me into freak out mode. I realized we haven't packed our hospital bags, installed the car seat or pre-registered at the hospital. As long as Kortny was still pregnant I was totally fine with my to do list since she was technically due 2 weeks before me I figured she'd have her baby first. Now that she had her baby I feel like I could have mine anyday and am not quite ready. So today I'm going to start working on those things. We had a great visit with Kortny and Jeremiah at the hospital today and it made me a little less scared of labor. Their baby is soooo cute too.

Kortny and her new daughter Olivia

Today is officially the first day of my leave since everyone was on spring break last week. I am so thankful I decided not to go back after break. I've been pretty tired the last few days and can't imagine trying to teach. Good job ladies who teach right up until their deliveries. I have missed school a little today but I'm sure in a couple days I'll forget everyone went back without me.
