After a week of being done with my undergraduate career, I have to say that I am so happy! I was in school for 5 years and had so much happen (I am currently working on writing it all down to post) and I am glad to be done.
I am full term for my pregnancy tomorrow and I am glad :) I have now had 3 episodes of false labor. Last Tuesday I actually went in to Labor & Delivery because the contractions were averaging 3 - 4 minutes apart and getting worse. Then after 3 hours they just stopped. UGH! Well Sunday night it happened again - contractions every 5 - 6 minutes apart for over 4 hours and then they stopped. Last night I didn't even bother timing them because they are just annoying me. It sucks because even though they aren't true labor contractions, they aren't the same old Braxton Hicks contractions either and they just make me so tired and grumpier than I usually am during pregnancy :)
Baby seems to be doing great and I am measuring ahead by about a week. Baby is also bigger than Devlin was at this point in my pregnancy and it's made me feel so uncomfortable a lot sooner than last time! I seriously think I am only getting about 4 - 5 hours of sleep a night. It'd be great if it was all clumped together, but it's in increments of 30 - 45 minutes at a time or something like that!
I have had nesting hit really hard this last week! Last week I organized our food storage/pantry, organized all the baby stuff, and other odds and ends around the house. I cleaned my entire house, top to bottom, except our bedroom yesterday. Today I worked on it a bit, got our desk organized and purged many unneeded papers. I made about 20 freezer meals last week; each in a gallon freezer bag which feeds about 1 dinner and 2 lunches for a family our size!!
The kids' room is ready with the changing area and crib, the bassinet is in our room with supplies filling the bottom basket, meals are in place, the bags are all packed and in the car (taken care of last Tuesday lol!), and birth plan and other plans are set for when things happen!
Now just to find the energy to have some fun play dates with Devlin before the baby comes!
