It's 37 weeks... that point in the pregnancy when most people can't wait to be done being pregnant. Not me... not that I love being pregnant, because I'm like everyone else, I don't enjoy it. I can't wait for the day when I can sleep on my stomach, and people stop rubbing my belly, and telling me how big I'm getting. But I'm not quite ready for our little man to be here. Baby boy is due on April 9th and I can only take 6 weeks off of work, so that would put me going back to work with two weeks left in the school year. That would work out perfect, right? Well baby boy has other plans for us. I went into the doctor last Friday and after checking, he said that he would be surprised if I made it to next Friday. THREE WEEKS EARLY? Needless to say I went into a bit of a panic. I had all my stuff ready for my sub... in April, but I ran to the school and tried to catch up on things so that my students would have stuff to do for the next few weeks. Then poor Tyler had to deal with the roller coaster that has been me the last few days. I may have had a few breakdowns about the house not being clean, and the laundry not being done, and a list of numbers that we needed not being written down. Good news... thanks to Tyler, our house is spotless, the laundry is all done, and the important phone numbers have been written down (okay, that one was thanks to me). I feel a whole lot better now and I am ready for our little monkey to make his debut.
I thought for sure I would go into labor this weekend. I have everyone on stand by just waiting... yet here I am. Still prego and feeling like a ticking time bomb. I can't wait to have him here. I just want to hold him in my arms. I can't wait to see what he looks like.
We somewhat finished his room. It still needs a little work and a lot of decorations, but here's his room so far.
His cute crib set
Dresser and changing table
And his closet with blankets and lots of cute clothes!
When I walk past the two rooms, right next to each other, I can't help thinking how weird it is that there are two cribs, two changing tables, and soon to be two cute little babies in our house!!
According to the weekly chart, our baby boy is now the length of Swiss chard and weighs about 7 pounds. I sure hope he comes out looking cuter than this.

So now we keep our fingers crossed (in my case, I'll keep my legs crossed) and hope our little man gets here soon, happy and healthy!
