You know you're nesting when...

You go into your room at night and see that your bed is made, but you don't remember making it! I must have been in a nesting-zombie like state! heh heh



I'm getting close, I can feel it. My body has ached nearly all day. I've felt some crampy pains in my lower abdomen, especially with contractions. It's really hard to stay in a good mood when you feel that slight irritation all day long!



Anyway, I'm 38 weeks, 1 day!

36 1/2 Weeks

I had another appointment today. We are getting down to the end! I can't believe it. The doctor will be seeing me weekly from this time forward. And of course today he asked me if I've been having contractions or signs of labor and I just kind of waved it all off as Braxton Hicks. Nothing serious!

And tonight? Tonight I start having contractions that are a bit uncomfortable. They still aren't consistent enough to be considered signs of labor, but it's a bit of a reminder of things to come. (Yikes!) Let's just hope I will last until my mom gets here on the 21st!

As far as cravings, I've moved on from Mint Chocolate Chip icecream to ice chips and popsicles. Oh! and Sprite! Yum!

My husband just scarfed down another piece of cake while I drank my Sprite and am not chewing on ice. How crazy is that? I passed up cake for Sprite and ice!

My energy levels took a turn for the better right after Memorial Weekend. We did a lot that weekend since Tina and the family came up for a visit, so I pretty much rested Monday and Tuesday.

And by Wednesday, it was like this surge of energy hit me, and I've been cleaning and organizing since!

My mood has also been considerably better. I'm no longer feeling depressed, but my poor kids probably can't wait for me to have this baby! The slightest mess makes me crazy! Sometimes I know I'm being completely irrational and I still just can't help myself. I find messes that need to be cleaned up!

Anyway, that's where I am now. We are going to attempt to hit King's Island tomorrow with all the kids. Am I crazy or what? It's supposed to be 95 degrees and I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant and heading towards the theme park! Maybe we'll just head towards the water park. That sounds like a plan to me! :)
