4 weeks to go... yikes! It's about time I plan for this baby. My last day at work full time was Friday so this weekend Justin and I diligently prepared the baby's room, and I officially went into cleaning/nesting mode. My washer and dryer never stopped running, in fact it's still going at 11:45pm Sunday night. Justin and I often go into our now clean, organized baby's room and just stare at everything in silence. I can't believe this is happening - our little kid will grow up in this room! I am so grateful to friends and family for the generous gifts they have given us or let us borrow so this room could come together. Baby's going to love it! Speaking of baby... he/she is getting quite large. There is a lot of pushing, shoving, and stretching. Our baby's favorite position is L-shaped with long legs stretched out straight, feet poking out of my right side. It's crazy to actually see the odd contours of my belly when baby nestles into this position. It's definitely getting harder and harder by the day to move around, bend down to pick something off the floor, get out of bed, you name it - but I still feel great, and I don't have much to complain about. I did not take one child birth class, so aside from the bits and pieces I've gotten from various books, I'm hoping I have what it takes for a manageable labor. I go in to Portland Wednesday morning for one more ultrasound to check out a couple uterine fibroids just to make sure they will not conflict with baby's exit strategy, and then I'm completely ready. Bring it on!
Oh yeah, and Osama Bin Laden is dead.
