Waiting...

Well I am now 39 weeks pregnant, and somehow to Dan and me it still doesn't feel quite real that I could have this baby at any time. I think we are both convinced that I am probably going to go overdue, and even though that still wouldn't be far from now, it just doesn't feel like we're going to have a new family member anytime soon.

This doesn't mean that I am not a bit jumpy about things going on with me physically...I have been having TONS of Braxton-Hicks contractions that are starting to get pretty uncomfortable, and not having ever had a real contraction, I'll feel a little confused when one gets quite uncomfortable and try to decide if I should be timing it or something... :) I'm new at this labor thing!

I am past the nesting stage, and past the "hospital preparation" stage, so now we're just living and waiting. Somehow though I feel like I could go on like this for awhile...but whether I can visualize it or now, life is going to change drastically for us very soon!

And Many Happy Returns of the Day to my beautiful mother! I can't believe you're 35 already.
