39 weeks

Today I had my 39 week check up and everything looked great. The doctor said the baby's head is down and in place. yay! If I do not go into labor on my own, then I will be induced on November 1st. I know the Lord has this little girls birth date already planned so I am trusting in Him and trying my best to wait patiently. This pregnancy has been amazing. I love being pregnant. I love feeling her inside me and I love knowing that God made her special for me and prav and I can't wait to meet her. Eeee! A lot of people have asked me today "when are you due?" and I can say "Monday!" instead of saying 3 weeks or 2 weeks so that has been so much fun! I get all kind of reactions- "you look like your having twins! are you sure there's just one in there?" um yeah I am pretty sure there is just one but thank you. another reactions has been "monday?! i thought you had another month for sure!". these are the comments I like to hear.

After my doctor appointment, I treated myself to a prenatal massage and it felt soo good. I told my therapist to "go ahead and start my labor if you can", but I don't think she took me serious because she just laughed. bo k!

The nursery is almost done. My mom came over yesterday and it is 95% complete! I will post pictures asap! Ivy- if you say it is okay then we are going to put Georgia in the nursery so we can look at her everyday and think of you.

39 weeks:

36 weeks and counting

Now that I only have 4 weeks left it feels like crunch time. I got my hospital bags packed and ready to go. I have tried many times to get prav to tell me what he wants for our stay in the hospital but he insists that it's way to early and he will pack his own things when the time comes! Bo k! I bounce on my birth ball every night for 30+ minutes to move her down into position (she is almost there!!). I know I still have plenty of time, but as a first time mom I am not quite sure what to expect.. even though I am sure I will follow right after Chaiss and Kathryn but you never know!

I got my hair done this past week so that it would be out of the way before the baby comes but it turned out to be a disaster! The lady who normally does my hair does a wonderful job and I never have any complaints but this time was different. It turned out to be big chunks of brown and blonde highlights and it just didn't work. At all. So last night, my mom bought a kit at walgreens and gave me some homemade highlights to get rid of the brown. I appreciate her help but my hair is now white and orange. Oh my! I am trying not to panic cause it is only hair. I called a new salon and I am going in today so hopefully someone can help me!

Although I am starting to get a little more uncomfortable, I am trying to enjoy this last month of being pregnant. I have loved every moment of being pregnant and I think I might miss it. Pravin has been great to me this whole pregnancy and I am so thankful for an understanding and patient husband. The other night we sat in the nursery for over an hour talking and day dreaming and looking at all our little girl's clothes. It was so fun and so sweet and I won't forget it.

WARNING! here comes a picture of me at 36 weeks:

That's it for now!

34 weeks

Wow! It is hard to imagine that in just 6 more weeks I will have a little girl. Now that I am this close to my due date, it seems like the last 8 months have flown by. I am getting more excited each day and I cannot wait to hold that precious little baby in my arms and look in her eyes. I love her so much already and I know once I see her it will be a whole new feeling that I can't wait to experience. She is moving around so much these days and what a wonderful feeling that is! I love when prav feels her move. Every time he feels her kick he looks up at me like it was the first time he felt her with a big smile on his face and it makes me so happy. He is going to be such a great dad. I am so thankful to the Lord for a healthy and complication free pregnancy. I will be praying that this baby keeps growing strong for the last 6 weeks.

Here is a picture of me at 34 weeks and 1 day. I know I have 6 more weeks but I do not know how I will get much bigger(whoa!!)! When prav gets home from work I will learn how to work his camera so I don't have to do these cheesy phone pics.

Things still on my to do list:

-organize and set up the nursery

-pack my hospital bags

-finish our birthing classes

-wash all the baby clothes

-install car seat

-take maternity pictures (it's probably too late but I still want to!)

-decide on a name!!!
