So, I am 36 weeks and I day. Though it feels awkward, I will share a few pictures for those who aren't on Facebook. Thankfully I have the benefit of a fantastic photographer.
To answer the common questions:
1. Due date? March 20
2. Am I ready? Umm . . . I have to say "no". I mean, if he were to come, of course we would be fine. But this weekend Jason will be at Tres Dias, and I'll be spending time in Birmingham, including a shower on Saturday, and next weekend is Women's Tres Dias, and I really want to be there. Then, I'm planning to work until March 11. After that, I'll have a week before my due date. I'd really like to have at least part of that week to get things in order at home. So while I realize he will come in God's perfect timing, I'm praying that's not before March 16. Yes, I realize I may totally eat these words if March 20 comes and goes with nothing, but at this point, I'm willing to take that chance.
3. Is the nursery finished? Not completely. Still finishing a few details on walls and decor. I'm not going to post any more pictures until those items are complete. But it could certainly function now if necessary.
4. How am I feeling? I'm still sticking with the answer "really good!". And it's true. Yes, I'm slightly less comfortable than I was a few weeks ago, but still nothing to complain about. I sleep well most of the time. I wouldn't mind less swelling in my feet, but I digress. I realize that not being miserable is playing a big part in my answer to #2 and wanting him to stay put for a few more weeks.
5. When do I go back to the doctor? Currently, my 36 week appointment is Thursday, Feb. 24. Thursday is a busy day all around, though, so I'm in the process of trying to move it up. There hasn't been anything available, so I'm checking back for cancellations daily. Next week, I start on a Tuesday rotation for the next few weeks, so it would be great to go earlier this week.
6. What am I doing about work? I am so, so, grateful to our faithful God and my wonderful husband to have given my resignation effective March 11, so that I will be home full time with Bradford. This has been both my and Jason's heart's desire since before getting pregnant, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity.
7. _____ while you can! Ok, I am aware this isn't a question. But it's still something I hear often. And yes, we are trying. Sleep, eat out, shop, relax, etc. This very morning, I enjoyed an extra 5 minute snooze on the basis that Bradford will not have a snooze button. :)
Those are the main questions I can think of! What am I missing?
"There is an appointed time for everything. And a time for every event under heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die." Ecc. 3: 1-2
"The Lord is always on time!" H. Bradford Ramsey, Sr (Paw-Paw)
