I am now 36 weeks and seeing the doctor every week! We can’t believe Baby Mobley will be here in the next few weeks. Everything looked good at my doctors appointment this week. Baby is still head down and measuring right on track. I have started having some Braxton Hicks contractions over the past week – the doctor even noticed I was having one when she measured me. I am still convinced that this baby is going to stay put for a while though. If baby comes early I will be surprised!
My belly is still really growing! I had to buy bigger maternity shirts because the ones I have are getting too short. I think I also need to get some long sleeved shirts since it is getting cool outside. I think Baby is starting to run out of space. We can usually tell exactly where baby is laying and feel and see a lot of movements. I am starting to get a little uncomfortable, especially when baby tries to stretch out. Overall I still feel pretty good. I am sleeping really well, but I have been very tired the past week or so. I have been trying to rest as much as possible, but there are still several things on my to do list.
Jason and I are trying to get some final important things done. This weekend we packed our hospital bags and put the finishing touches on the nursery. We have been deep cleaning a few parts of the house and stocking the pantry with easy to cook meals. We are still trying to finalize our baby name list. We need to make another trip to Buy Buy Baby to buy a few more things. I feel like we are running out of time! I have to work next weekend, but then we will (hopefully) have a few weeks to relax and finish preparing.
We have all our baby gear put together and ready to go. Jason installed the car seat and we got our stroller and put it together. The cats of course have had to check out everything. We have the pack n play set up in our room and the cats have been fighting over it at night. I haven’t got many good pictures, but here is one of Ginger checking out the highchair.
Nursery pics coming soon!
Laura, I’m impressed! I have been secretly following along with your blog and comparing your pregnancy to mine…You are way more prepared and ready to go at this point that I am! HA! I have 3 more baby showers and lots of things still to buy for baby, so hopefully mine will stay put as well! Glad to hear/see your pregnancy is going well…mine is as well! Hopefully we’ll be neighbors at Women’s soon! Oh, and if you haven’t heard and are interested in discounted baby stuff…there is a “whale of a sale” cosignment sale coming to Zville this friday (10/1 – 10/2). If you google it, info will pop up! Good luck with the last few weeks!
