39 weeks

We're almost there! Our little sweet pea could arrive any day now! I'm getting more and more excited to meet her and hold her with each passing day. I now have the car seat installed and ready to go in my car. I also started packing my hospital bag. I've got the everything that the baby will need packed and ready. Now I just need to pack a few more things for myself and I'll be set.

As many of you know, I have a few friends that were pregnant with me. Most of them have already had their babies by now. After seeing pictures, and visiting them in the hospital, I can't wait for this crazy experience. I'm a little nervous, but all of my excitement far outweighs the nerves. I've had a couple nights that I was dreaming that I was in labor. The funny thing is, I've had two other people tell me that they had dreams that I was in labor also. In my dream everyone was asking me what her name was going to be. I had no idea what to tell them, as we had nothing to name her, just like in real life.

Our latest issue is that of the name. We did have a couple names that we liked. Actually, David liked one, I liked one, and we both thought that the third name was ok. It was a compromise if you will. Now, we have nothing. Our plan was, and still is, to write a list of two or three names that we both like, and then decide which name fits her best when we actually see her and hold her. That's where the problem lies. We can't come up with two or three names that we BOTH like enough for our child. Most names that I've been picking out are very whimsical and cutesy, which I understand may not be the best choice long term. David's choices have been a lot more simple, and traditional. I would really like to find something that fits into both our naming styles. Hopefully we can do so in the next two weeks!!!

The nursery is finally ready! There are still a couple small things I need to get, like the baby monitor and a clock, but other than that, Baby P's room is ready and waiting for her! Here are some pictures. (They don't do the room justice!!)

Once we know what her name is going to be, I think we're going to put it on the wall above her crib. 

At my last doctors appointment we noticed that Little Miss has dropped a little. I was not dilated at all yet, and have a feeling she's not going to come out anytime soon. I worked two full days this week, and towards the end of the second day, I could feel my legs and ankles retaining water. I think being up and moving around caused her to drop a little more. That night my hips, knee and ankle were so sore and achy!! All on my right side. I have another doctors appointment on Tuesday. I'm curious to see if I've made any further progress.  I have three more days at work before I start my maternity leave. I'm really starting to look forward to that! =) I can make it through three more days!!

Well, hopefully the next post will  be from the hospital saying that she's here! We can't wait to meet our little pumpkin and see what she looks like!! We're so excited!!! =)
