getting closer

so today i am 36wks and just got back from a doc appointment. i found out a few things:
1. i didnt gain any weight w/in the last week, YAY!
2. the baby is head down and her back/spine is along my right side.
3. at 37wks they consider babies 'full term' so if "labor" starts, they let it happen. so we will have a baby as early as next week or as late as mid february. CRAZY!

4. i am 1cm dialated. which i guess is a good/normal thing. again, crazy.

there is still A LOT to do w/ getting ready for the baby... buying stuff, finishing the house, paperword, etc. seriously, i just feel overwhelmed right now! PLUS im just trying to get as much sleep as possible. honestly, i wish i could take the next few days/week off so i could get everything done! :( i'm trying to remain calm/organized buti just dont know what to feel anymore. plus there are a few other things that are clouding my mind.... sigh.... oh well.

oh, the baby shower this past wkend was a lot of fun. im SO grateful and blessed to have such great family and friends :) tracy andmy mom did a lot and it was so fun :) also my parents were in town again to help w/ more house stuff. seriously, all the help we've been getting has been amazing! thank you thank you THANK YOU!! xoxoxoxo

well that's all for now... lots to do & im just trying not to lose my mind!
