37 Weeks - Update

Today I am 37 weeks and I can't believe I'm actually going to have the baby this month! There are so many things going through my head. I hope I'm ready to take care of a child. What if the baby cries all the time? What if I'm a horrible mom? Wish me luck.

Baby Update:

Weight: I currently weigh a total of 125 lbs. which is good because I'm gaining about a pound a week. I would like to be about 130 lbs. by the time the baby comes.

Baby Room: We finally have the crib and some other items to make the room complete but I decided to wait until the baby is born to decide how I want to decorate the room. I've gone back and forth about crib bedding, curtains and decor and can't decide. I think I will just have to wait until I see this cute little one in person. Also, my mom will be here to help and will give me some ideas about the room.

Work: I'm offically unemployed! That's right I don't have a job. I'm going to be a stay at home mom and so far it feels really weird. I don't like sleeping in while my husband gets up to go to work. I feel very lazy right now and its been a difficult change for me. The baby will be coming soon and I think staying at home and not working will make more sense...but until then I've become a cleaning machine.

Nesting: To say I've been nesting would be an understatement. I have cleaned and organized every part of my house except for the office because that is Noah's room. He likes it just the way it is...which is messy. Noah likes to show people our "junk drawer" and other area's in our home. He thinks it's funny how crazy I have become over the past 9 months. He said he is excited for me to pop this baby out! Just for fun I posted pictures of our "junk drawer".




Home Projects: For the 2 days I haven't had a job I've already had a million projects for Noah to do when he gets home from work. I've been decorating my home and doing some small touches around the house that I've wanted to do for a while now. Poor Noah. I need to do something special for him. I haven't decided what to do but if anyone has suggestions please send them my way! Noah has been the most supportive, loving, kind and gentle husband during this crazy pregnancy. I truly don't know what I would have done without him. He constantly is helping me and making me feel special. I understand I'm carrying the baby and going through the labor but he has definitely done his part with taking care of me along the entire journey.
