A full term baby bump!

 

The bump is the first thing people see...it's like it's own identity now. 

If I'm coming around a corner, look out! Baby girl pops out before the rest of me does.

•  I can't believe we are full term already. Where have the past nine months gone? This little one can come now, whenever she's ready!
• I've been having more and more and stronger Braxton Hicks contractions, and baby girl's head is "very low" according to the doc. No progress other than that, but we're working on it. :)
• My hip pain is much improved with the help of my chiropractor and physical therapy. My plan is to walk/ride the stationary bike to try and keep her moving in the right direction!
• My last night of work was this week, so I'm officially on maternity leave. Not sure when/how/if I'll be going back once the baby arrives.
• I can't even tell you how excited I am about having some time off and getting to enjoy this time of year. This will be the first holiday in six years that I will have off completely! Such is the life of a nurse.
• We've been making room for baby around the house. The bassinet, pack and play, and swing are set up and the car seat is in the car ready to go.

Practicing!

• I'm looking forward to some dates and qt with my husband, really soaking up these last couple weeks just the two of us! I love that man.
• Plans for today include packing the hospital bag {just in case!} organizing my kitchen cabinets, wrapping hubs' Christmas gifts while he's at work and getting a manicure.
• Next week I'll have pictures of the nursery...it's my new favorite room in the house!
