The Final Countdown!

     So I thought it would probably be good to post before Lulu gets here and my life gets considerably busier. A lot has happened these last few weeks and it has been busy busy getting ready for the big day. First my sisters threw me a terrific baby shower. We had lots of good food, good friends, and fun. I got a lot of amazingly cute things. I realized that most of the pictures we took were of the food but it was a blast.

A baby fruit salad how cute is that!

     Also we're pretty ready for the baby at least we have the stuff we need. Our nursery is put together and looks so cute. Karen and Catherine found some great wall decals and made it adorable. We haven't put our gliding chair in there yet it still is in the living room but we'll move it when we need to or get around to it.

Our crib and some of the decals :)

 
    So I'm officially on maternity leave now which is great but it was also a stress to get everything all ready to leave. I still worry that I didn't do enough but my sub is great and I don't have to worry about her. I also found out that when I'm stressed my body holds onto the germs until I relax and then I get sick. Since I went on maternity leave my throat has been sore and my nose has been runny. Hopefully I can get over this before baby comes. Other than not feeling 100% healthy I'm feeling pretty ready. Well, as ready as I can be. It's a good thing I'm feeling pretty ready because I don't have much time left without baby. I had a doctor's appointment on Monday and so far I'm not effaced or dilated but since I was on insulin (I'm not anymore my sugars have stabilized at the end of my pregnancy so I don't have to give myself insulin in the morning. I still have to check my blood 5 times a day but no more insulin!) they still want to induce me at 39 weeks. Which is good because I'm officially on maternity leave and I don't want to waste my time off waiting for baby. So the plan is on Wednesday we'll go in at 6pm, be given some drugs to help start things, go home, come back 6 hours later, do the same routine, then come back 6 hours later on Thursday morning to be given more drugs and then stay until we have baby. So I'm thinking if all goes well we should have a baby by Friday! So yeah... just a little bit longer. Hopefully I'm ready for this. It still feels pretty surreal that soon we'll be parents but I guess it will happen when it happens and I better get used to it because there's no turning back now. Well I'll finish this with my last weekly pregnancy picture of this pregnancy and I will see you on the other side :)

She's still riding pretty high but this is 39 weeks :)
