38 weeks...

The weeks actually have been going by SO quickly.. even though I am SO ready for Millie to get out of my belly and be here already!
I also never knew a belly could grow SO much within one week.  INSANE!

Ben is in his nesting stage.... he has washed, dusted, and cleaned out everything in this house.  THANK YOU LORD FOR THAT!!!!
He is also very into making sure everything is where it needs to be so he can easily grab it once it is "go" time. HA!

I repacked Millie's hospital bag for the third time yesterday (seriously... I'm not above admitting I am bored out of my mind waiting on this child)       I've always been an over-packer and it looks like that isn't going to change with me packing for my daughter!  I am so paranoid I won't have something she will "need" haha... I know I know... the hospital has all the necessities, but there are things a girl just needs to have on hand!! :)  


I have had back pain pretty much the entire pregnancy--but only on my right side.  The past week it has been MUCH worse... like shooting down my leg.  When I stand up and take a few steps it's like my hip gets caught.  So, that's not fun.  
Today was a strange/weird day for me.  I was just super uncomfortable, and I felt like I needed to walk with my legs close together because she was just going to fall out (there was so much pressure). Probably TMI.

I also had a feeling I've never felt before!  I was standing in my doorway at school and had a weird tightening feeling in my lower left abdomen area.  Like it hurt and tightened so much I was gripping the door frame!  I honestly would've thought that's what a contraction would feel like but didn't have the feeling again.  So, I'm chalking it up as a "false labor pain" and my wishful thinking!


I seriously look like a rollie pollie.  As Ben says: "girllll... you pregnant!"  I apologize to my students and their parents for what our class picture from today will look like with a 38 week preggo poking out the side :/.

We return to the doctor on Wednesday... let's see if anything has changed... (I'm saying that in my most calm and patient voice possible.. :))
