36 weeks...

Well.. I almost made it to what is considered "full term". One more week to go.
I am at 36 weeks - and still going strong!! I am starting to feel a little more tired, some minor pressure and really fat! haha... But hopefully I haven't gained much. I have really been watching what I am eating since my doctors appointment - trying to keep my weight gain down... I went out to eat once with Jenestia and Chris - and I treated myself to a sandwich... and BJ and I went out for our anniversary dinner and I treated myself to chicken and mashed potatoes.. but otherwise my choices have been very "wise"... I am trying really hard to stay on track.. so as least if this appointment I have gained a substantial amount of weight - I will know that there is nothing else that I can do about it from this end.

Anyway, at the end of the day - I gain however much weight I gain - all I care about is a healthy baby in the end... I can always take weight off... but it is hard not to worry about it when my doctor is so strict about it... in the long run though, I think that's a good thing.

So, Mom and Dad are up visiting... Mom gave my bathtub a good cleaning - it really needed it as I can't bend over to clean it like I used to be able too.. and BJ has been cleaning it, thank goodness, but still - It needed a really good scrubbing... I am really looking forward to spending this weekend with them - it'll be the last time that we spend time together with "just us". However, I am sure that it will only get better when this little one arrives.

I have my doctors appointment on Tuesday, and my first day of school... I am going to try to work until the 26th - my due date... so I will see how that goes. If I start to progress sooner, of course I will stop - but I expect to go overdue. I will try to update Tuesday with everything that went on, but if I am too tired I might wait until Wednesday.

OH - nursery is completely finshed with rocking chair and all - I will try to remember to take a picture before tuesday.
