36 Weeks Pregnant

I am excitedly nearing the end of this crazy ride and realizing how much I need to do! I have chosen a hospital but still need to actually go there and officially register. I have just recently started to organize the baby clothes and put them away. But my hospital bag is not packed and we don't have a place for her to sleep yet when she comes home and haven't bought a single diaper, so it's starting to hit me! Time to get the ball rolling! I have been good about exercising and even signed up for a 5K next week! I will be walking, of course. I hope I can make it through! I have had a lot of contraction-type things. Not sure if they are just Braxton Hicks or real, but they always go away. I am hoping that my doctor will check to see if there has been any progress at my appointment tomorrow. Sometimes they won't do that until you are already due. I am curious though! This week I'm taking it easy because I got a job in the Columbus Symphony and we have rehearsals and a concert this weekend, and I don't want to go into labor yet! It would be embarrassing if my water broke on stage, or something dramatic like that. Sigh, I hope that doesn't happen. :) I have been nauseous still and acid reflux/heartburn is just getting worse. She still kicks me like CRAZY and I feel enormous. I have had no swelling at all, but am keeping a close eye on it since I developed Pre-Eclampsia right at the very end with Ashton, and really don't want that to happen again (if I have any control at all.)

Baby size: Coconut
My weight: Up 41 lbs since pre-pregnancy
