WEEK 38!

I think I lost track of my posts. I feel like I'm on another planet right now. From time to time I'll sit there and it'll dawn on me that any day now Barry and I are going to be parents. Any day now I'll have to go to the hospital. Any day now I'm going to have to push that small person out of my vagina. Sorry for the strong "V" word. Any day now life is going to change completely. I'm a walking time bomb. Dr. A said in our last visit that I'm 2 days into what's considered full term, so it can just happen ANY TIME. I'm not sure how I feel about that. This whole thing is still pretty surreal to me. I know I've been carrying this little guy for 9 months and I should get used to it by now right? No, not really. Maybe for some people. For me it all still seems like a dream...nightmare at some moments.

I had my GBS test (Group B Streptococcus). Came back negative. Weeee, no antibiotics for me. I don't look forward to crawling into bed because I know that's when I'll start feeling the contractions. It's very comforting having Barry there during those times to help me relax. He's been really good at taking care of me and making sure I'm not lifting anything or help push me off the couch or lift me. Unfortunately I've developed that ab separation thing, which is quite common during pregnancy. Just not happy about it because I just want to get back into my yoga/workout routine, and this is only going to set me back a little bit. Have I mentioned how much I hate the way my body is changing? Looking int he mirror I just have no idea how it's all going to go back to normal! I know it will if I try, but guhhhh!

We've finished with our baby shopping as well. We've spent so much time looking at strollers that when we see a stroller on the street our instant reaction is "oh that's the Mountain Buggy!" or "oh that's the Baby Jogger, we were looking at!" Yes, this is our life now. Something that wasn't even a second thought to us has become a reality...an impulsive reaction. Barry also got the car seat installed and ready to go since we wont be able to take the Tot home if we didn't have one. All his clothes and blankets have been washed by Grandma, and I'm pretty sure she folded each little onesie with kisses and I love you's haha. I've also been addicted to this mum group on facebook that my cousin told me about. It's basically a bunch of mum's in your town/neighborhood selling new/used baby/toddler stuff. So I found a nice little high chair, some clothes, and an exersaucer. Saved me a ton of money that's for sure! Have I mentioned Barry's mum gave us a year supply of baby formula...we have boxes and boxes of that stuff. I think we're set!

We're moving into our new place soon, and I really hope the small human doesn't decide to come before. We don't have his crib set up yet, so if he decides to come, he's going to have to sleep in a hammock.
