Well. I am officially 36 weeks pregnant. Meaning: there is 4 weeks left provided little McKenna comes on time. At this point we are just trying to get prepped and ready for her. All her bedding and clothes are washed and put away. Her room is 98% done – just waiting on the thing for over her crib. We went to Babies ‘r Us to buy more things that we think are the “essentials” … but we don’t know up from down when it comes to essentials SO yeah.
…How is McKenna…
she is just hanging around. doing her thing. not planning on making a debut anytime soon – which is OK by me. She has finally moved head down {she was hanging out in this sideway position for a while}. strong heart beat. still bigger than she is supposed to be. but. she is good and that is all that matters!!
…How am I…
…How is Kyle…
he is 100% in the running for husband of the year. I am a pain in the ass. true story. and he is taking it all in stride. he has been cooking A LOT and making sure I am comfortable. he does not take anything personal as he knows it is just me being really pregnant. he bought me a wedge to go under my belly for when I sleep out of his own allowance because I wasn’t getting a lot of sleep. now, I am sleeping better. but still not through the night.
…How I am Spending My Time…
Well. Monday – Friday is at work. Then dinner and then in bed with my feet elevated with either a book or some quality TV. Weekends have been spent doing baby things + getting as much pool time as possible with a good book. And laundry – but Kyle has to carry it upstairs now because the loads are too heavy and my belly is 100% in the way. And. I am doing a lot of reading – while I still can!!
….Milestones & Exciting Things…
(1) We had our 1st hospital tour this past weekend and we are NOT off to a good start. Despite having an appointment at that hospital early on + visiting countless friends there, we couldn’t find the dang hospital. Whoops?! Hopefully Baby Day goes a bit smoother.
(2) Tuesday night we had our pediatrician open house and got to meet the doctor & ask countless questions. He is a little conservative, but it is a big practice so we can “shop” around if need be. But – he has 30+ years of experience so I kind of feel like he knows what is going on.
(3) Saturday we have the hospital tour at the alternate hospital that is closer to our house, but not our #1 choice due to their on call situation or lack there of of on call doctors around our due date, but we still want to know where we need to go if we need to head there vs. the main campus. Wish us luck for better sense of direction.
(4) all her clothes are clean and semi organized and put away. Homegirl has some cute clothes and I am jealous of her sleep attire and her princess swaddle towel.
(5) we had an amazing baby shower and I am so lucky to have such an amazing group of people to work with – they really are more of a family than anything to me. But… the shower made people realize that I was pregnant as the next day I got nailed with all the “when are you do” and “how long will you be out” questions.
But. All in all. Life is good. Counting down the days till little M arrives. And with the weekly appointments from here on out hopefully we will know to anticipate it!!
We need to see pictures of this precious baby's wardrobe. That should be a fun blog post or two, right? Glad you are all well - can't wait for her to arrive!
