39 weeks!

well, 39 weeks- almost done! almost time to meet our sweet girl! joey and i were talkin' about it last night and we just can't believe how quickly this pregnancy went by!

today is my first day out of work; when i left on friday i still didn't feel like i was off yet but waking up this morning and realizing i didnt have to get ready for work...weird! i miss my coworkers already! but i honestly haven't been this relaxed/stress free in a long time. it was nice to wake up slow (especially after tossing and turning all night long) eat some breakfast, sip some coffee, takin' a quick walk, and now just relaxing with my pups! (i know they're glad i'm home too cause it means they aren't locked up all day!) i have a doctor's appointment today but not until 3:00.

over the weekend i had some more contractions/pains, and i can tell she's dropped more too. she's still wild as ever in there though! i'm not getting my hopes up about progress, last time i went to the doc i wasn't dilated at all, and i'm prepared for that again today. Just trying not to get my hopes up about anything. i'm ready to meet her, and ready to not be pregnant anymore lol, but at the same time- i know i'll miss being pregnant. i was blessed with a great pregnancy, these past 10 weeks have been rough BUT realistically i've been lucky. i just hope L&D goes smoothly and my baby girl gets here safely. i hope her and i are both okay and all is well!

i just can't believe how soon she'll be here. maybe this will be my last pregnancy post?? we'll see :) maybe i'll have one more! who knows?! Easter is coming up this weekend and we pretty much told both our families we're playing it by ear. I'll either be miserably pregnant, giving birth/in the hospital, or have a brand new baby. if i'm still pregnant we'll probably go to all the Easter celebrations: Saturday lunch with his family, Sunday lunch with my mom's family, and Sunday dinner with my Dad's family. but if i've just had her we'll probably hang out at home, as much as i dont want to miss Easter and seeing everyone (and all the great food!) i just don't want to take her out/expose her to that many people while she's so new.

i just can't wrap my brain around the fact that we get to meet her soon. i'm so so nervous about L&D still, but so ready for her to be here. i can't wait to see her, hold her, love her. i have so many thoughts running through my mind: how will L&D go? how will breast feeding go? will she be a good sleeper? how the HECK am i gonna make myself go back to work!? how will the dogs do with her? will i have a hard time losing the weight? plus about a bagillion more things running through my mind!

but more than anything? i cant wait to meet her :)
