36 Weeks!

I am 36 weeks today! Wow-it's hard to believe I had Bishop at this point in my pregnancy and things are going so much more smoothly this time around.

I had a Dr's appointment this morning...my blood pressure is still great (thank goodness) and my Dr said that I'm progressing at a very normal rate for 36 weeks. I'm about 50% effaced and I have many mixed emotions about this pregnancy being over. Don't get me wrong--I am very excited to be done being pregnant and to meet this baby, especially to find out if it's a girl or boy. I worry about Bishop and how he'll handle the transition, although he has always transitioned well, so I'm hoping this is the same.

We're getting things ready...the pack and play is set up in our room-the carseat bases need to be installed in our cars and the clothes (onesies, sleepsacks and blankets) need to be washed.

More than anything I am relieved to have had such a healthy pregnancy!!

We've been trying to talk to Bishop a little bit about the baby coming, but I don't want to go overboard and make his anxious about it. We had pizza and made cookies tonight and he talked about how babies can't eat pizza or cookies and then he listed people who CAN eat cookies and he mentioned Great Grandpa, it was so cute. He has just recently started talking about Great Grandpa and since he has 2 of them, we're not entirely sure which one he's talking about, but it doesn't matter, it's cute that he mentions him, especially while eating cookies.

The countdown is on....I can't wait to meet this baby and get some good cuddling time in!!
