One Week Closer...

Happy 38 weeks of pregnancy to me!! So here we are, full term now, and ready to go whenever J.T. is. Sometimes I still don't fully grasp that I am literally days away from being a mother and having a son. Life is so wonderfully crazy, isn't it?

I've been feeling great now that I'm in the home stretch. This time last week I was slowly getting miserable because my discomforts were multiplying and I couldn't get much meaningful sleep. But I've been doing better lately, possibly just a result of getting used to things though also because as Thanksgiving is approaching as well as many family birthdays I have been distracted and have been more active. What has me REALLY excited is that Joe may be able to come down as soon as one week from now!!! Having him here, and even just the anticipation of him possibly coming soon, is enough to lift my spirits so that I virtually forget about any discomforts I may be having and am probably even okay in the event that I stay pregnant past my due date...that will just be more hubby and me time!!

In the meantime everything in the room is ready, all bags are packed, and we really are ready to go. My next appointment is on Wednesday and I hope to get an idea of when the doctor thinks labor might start. Until then, I'm enjoying this time and looking forward to Thanksgiving, with so much to be thankful for!! :)
