38 weeks and officially huge!  I think I am out of room!  My rotation of clothes is getting smaller as very few things fit over my belly these days.  Somehow though, my doctor said my fundals are shrinking (I am measuring smaller) because the baby is moving down.  Everything else looked good at this weeks appointment.  I’m still feeling good and sleeping well.  I’m done with evening shifts and weekends at work -  I will just work days now until baby comes.

I have been having more contractions on and off the past few days.  They are still very irregular but occasionally are a bit uncomfortable.  I think I’m starting to mentally prepare myself that we will have this baby within the next 3 weeks, as I will be induced at 41 weeks if the baby doesn’t come before then.  Today Jason and I went to Buy Buy Baby and got a few last things that we needed (and I must say I’m very pleased at how much money we saved with coupons!).  We are trying to pack some last minute items and get some work done around the house.  We have also been trying to enjoy the last few free days together just the two of us.  Last night we had a lovely dinner outside at the Cheesecake Factory (and we highly recommend the pecan pumpkin cheesecake!).  After dinner we went and looked at the adorable baby clothes at Baby Gap that we might actually get to buy soon!

I really don’t have any feeling about the gender of this baby and neither does Jason, but we are really looking forward to finding out.  If you want to make your official guess, click on the link below!

One last picture – this is what I “discovered” the other day.

Yep, that is Ginger hanging out in the stroller storage compartment!  She seemed quite pleased with herself that she found this little hideout.
