36 Weeks

Seriously, can I get any bigger? I guess I will, I still have four weeks to go. I really hope it goes fast. In my experience the last month is the hardest. So far this pregnancy has been better for me than my last one. I think that loosing 20 lbs in between made a big difference. I am not as achy as I was with Nathan. My feet, legs, and back, don't hurt as much, even now. But, I still feel ready to be done. I am having trouble sleeping. I actually get more achy when I am sleeping. The hip I am laying on will start to ache and I have to turn over, not an easy feat when you are as big as a whale. I also get leg cramps, heart burn, and my arms go numb (pregnancy induced carpal tunnel) at night. And it is the time of day when my baby is the most active. He flip flops all over the place all night long. I hope that isn't a problem after he is born. He is going to sleep all day and be up all night long. I am contracting much more that I did with my other two. Still, I am preparing myself to go all the way to my due date and possibly over. That way I won't be disappointed. I expected Nathan early and was frustrated when he didn't come on his own.
In another sense I am not really ready to have this baby. I still don't have anywhere to put his things. It is going to be a challenge to put three kids in one room. I also don't have a car seat yet. The one my other two used broke. I figure I still have time to take care of some of this stuff. I can't imagine what life will be like with three little boys. It will be an adventure. I am so glad that I have such a good husband. Randy is such a good dad, he will make this job easier for me.
