37 weeks...

and I am READY! Well, I'm pretty much ready. Luckily, a few weeks ago when I was feeling a lot better than I do now, I did all of her laundry and got everything ready for her. Now, mine and Craig's laundry is a different story... but we won't go there. I'm done working (YAY!) and it's been so nice to be at home these past few days. On Saturday, my totally awesome Mom spent all day with me making meals to freeze so we have good stuff to eat once the babe is here. We had a hard time coming up with meals that Craig would like, since most of them contained a vegetable or two, but luckily my mom's an expert and we put together about 10 meals that Craig would approve of and stuck them in the freezer. It was a looong day, but definitely worth it. Thanks, Mom!

After we had spent all day making food, Craig and I went to his parents house for our niece, Keira's, FIRST birthday party. She was SO cute and I can't believe she's already one year old! Happy Birthday, Keira! Here's the little birthday girl...


We left the party a little early since I wasn't feeling so great and just came home and watched some TV. Once we got home, I was SO miserable. I have a nerve that gets pinched in my back and it was killing me. It hurt to sit down, it hurt to stand up, it hurt to do anything. The only thing that helped it feel better was for Craig to rub it, but once he would stop, it would just ache and hurt even worse. Luckily, I have such a sweet husband who would do anything to help me feel better. He's been so nice to have around these past few weeks... I've hardly had to do anything for myself! But seriously, I don't know what I'd do without him. He's the best and I know he's going to be such a good Daddy. He has recently started to sing the "I like to move it, move it" song to my belly in hopes that she'll come out break dancing or something. He's also picked out a new song theme song for when she gets old enough to start dating... you know, when she's about 25. It's a country song that talks about a Dad who stays up all night just cleaning his gun while someone takes his daughter out on a date.


On a side note, I went in for my 37 week appointment earlier this week and I was 1cm dilated, 75% effaced. C'mon baby, I know you want out :)

Yay not much longer to go! I know how difficult those last few weeks of pregnancy are so hang in there :) I can't wait for your little girl to come!

Oh my goodness I cant wait to see her!!! By the way I want to see another cute belly pic before you have her k:) Trust me when I wanted Raylee out I was doing EVERYTHING!! Seriously. And then I hated when people would say its not going to work she will come when she wants to. And believe it or not she came when I wasnt even thinking about it! But you can have your dr. strip your membranes that might get things going. I did it with both my kids. It worked with Brayton but not with Raylee and I have to honestly say that I loved that Raylee came when she wanted to because my labor went extremely fast!!! Good luck on everything and sorry this is the longest post EVER!!!!!
