Almost 37 weeks...full term!

Sunday we will be 37 weeks, which is considered full term...can't believe it! Hopefully she won't come late. She is officially in the head down position...so we can attempt a natural birth! It was such a relief to hear this news.

Yesterday was my last full day of work, so now I can concentrate on finishing up things around the house and preparing my body for labor. I need to walk more and do lots of stretching everyday, because I'm not dialated at all. My fingers and feet/legs are still swollen at times...had to take my rings off my fingers because they were getting really tight. I'm wearing my engagement ring on a necklace. The doctor said my and Marlee's size seem good overall, and from this passed Tuesday's appt, I have gained 23 lbs total. So looks like I'll go over 25lbs, but hopefully not too much more.

This passed weekend was our Nashville Baby Shower at our house. It was so much fun! Jon and April came for the weekend. They were way too generous! Leah, Kari, Mallory, and Julie did an awesome job planning and running the shower. It was so cute, good food, lots of goodies, fun games, and good times with friends. Leah and Lee's daughter Sarah is getting so big and still as cute as ever. Brittnye also brought Carter (almost 1 yr old) and Bart and Wolfie brought Kalei and Reed. Nenana was so happy to have so much company. And we only have a few things left that we really need to get. Leah took a lot of the pics for the shower, can't wait to see them! My friends are so awesome and generous, and we are so excited and blessed! Dave got to smoke his pork all day, it was yummy, then the friends who stayed late all hung out on our back porch w/ us. On Sunday we went w/ Jon and April to Bart's house in Franklin to swim and eat dinner. It was a great weekend!

Dave's mom Beth is coming today, at least for one night, to help finish up some things. Then my mom is gonna come back for a couple of days next week. It's so exciting to be wrapping everything up and know that we will meet Marlee soon! Going back to the doctor on Monday...hoping for progress!
