36 Weeks

This weekend was one of the busiest so far, as far as getting ready for the Baby! Saturday was our all day Childbirth marathon class. We were supposed to have class on Sunday also, but since only half the couples showed up, we were able to get done all in one day, which was nice! Dave and I were pretty overwhelmed with everything and it definitely hit home that we're in the final weeks of pregnancy!! I've already pre-apologized to Dave if I turn into "Evil Jamie" during the process and he's vowed to do whatever I need at that point to help with the situation. Overall, I think the class was good for both of us and now we'll just wait to put our knowledge to work.

This weekend was also my family & friend shower, where Dave and I got almost everything we'll need to care for the Baby at least the first few months. I had a great time and there was a great turnout of people!! Everyone was way too generous in their gifts - this Baby is already spoiled! We received many handmade blankets, some of our larger items we needed (pack-n-play, mattress, stroller/carseat combo), crib sheets, towels, cute little bathrobes and MORE!!! Thank you again to EVERYONE!! I'm going tomorrow to finish up everything we absolutely NEED prior to the Baby arriving so we'll be all set.

Thursday is my next doc appointment, so we'll see if there is any progress there. At 37 weeks they consider the baby "full term" so it's great that we're at the point where the baby will be healthy if I were to go into labor early. Speaking of...Dave and I have yet to pack our bag. That was a "to do" item for this past weekend, but time just got away from us, so something I will do this week!!
