37 Weeks

I am officially full term!  Now the weekly appointments start. 
My face has started to break out really bad again, and my hips are starting to hurt.  But my belly button is still an innie with extra room.  Not much else to update on.

Weekends

This was the first weekend, true weekend, Jeff and I had in a very long time that we didn't have anywhere to be.  It was really nice.  And productive.  And I got to take a nap both days!  We are trying to make the most out of our last few baby-free weekends. 
On Saturday we grocery shopped and did a few other errands.  Then that night we made cream cheese wontons, egg drop soup and pad see ew.  It was all really good, but I didn't take any pictures. 
Then on Sunday we were productive and planted some seeds in the garden, hopefully something will come of that, but I am not being very positive about it right now.  Jeff also made this really awesome cinnamon sugar bread.
And for dinner on Sunday I made fried chicken, green beans, baked sweet potatoes and Jeff made some buttermilk biscuits.
And here is what the kitties did most of the weekend, lay in the baby's room.

36 weeks

Most people think it is a boy because of how I am carrying.  But we will see what happens.  Both Jeff and I realized we were not dead set on the girl name we have picked out so we are now scrambling for options.  We have a list of some that we like, but I think it is going to be a last minute decision after the kid makes its appearance if it ends up being a girl. 
I have had this whole week off because of spring break and it had been pretty nice not having to be anywhere.
The cats really know that something is going to happen soon.  They are both being very needy lately.  Heath constantly wants to lay on me.  This morning Heath was laying next to me cuddled up and purring, while MJ was laying on top of me doing the same.  They were practically touching each other and they didn't care.  But it was really cute.
And yesterday afternoon he forced his way onto the chair so he could cuddle.

Baby's Room

So in preparing for a baby to be here soon, we finally got the second bedroom organized.  We took out the guest bed and rearranged everything so it looks just how I want it to.  My parents helped a lot with this.  They also brought out their really awesome vacuum and they vacuumed everything!  It is so nice having everything feel clean.  We also bought any missing baby items that were needed and washed everything.  All the clothes, blankets, sheets, etc.  It all got washed.  I am currently washing the cloth diapers.  Almost everything is done, which is a nice feeling.  I just have few more items to purchase and a few more things to do (pack hospital bag, get car seat inspected, put up co-sleeper) and everything will really be done.  The cats seem to think that we set up this room for them, surprise, surprise.  They keep wanting to lay in the crib, which I cannot always avoid, but it has a massive blanket over the crib so their hair won't get on the nice clean sheets. 
But here are a few pictures of the room.

Shower

It has been a very busy few days.  My parents were here and helped me get everything baby related ready.  I will post more on that later.  But on Sunday my co-workers had a shower for me and my manager who is due this coming week.  It was really nice of them and I cannot believe the generosity of everyone.  Here are some pictures from it.

This is a nursery rhyme drawn out by a friends brother in law.  It is really awesome, and now has a frame and is hanging in the babies room.

On Sunday we also had to take some pictures with flat Stanley for Ms. Skylee.  And I will only post this one so that everyone can see Jeff's new haircut and how huge I look compared to him.
