I can't believe we're 38 weeks along!!! We could meet our little man any time now! I am more and more convinced I am going to go into labor early. I'm not sure how early, but I don't think I'm going to fall in that typical group of first time moms that go longer than 40 weeks.
I officially feel like a "large pregnant woman." I find getting in and out of the car takes quite a bit of effort, as does walking up and down the stairs, rolling over in bed, getting out of bed and even getting up and down off the couch. Ha! It's funny to think that a couple weeks ago none of this phased me. It's still amazing to me to think that there is a little human inside me waiting to come out into the world!
So far, I still have no stretch marks and my belly button did not pop out. Let's hope this stays this way!
I have started putting together what I will pack in my hospital bag. Right now, it's all laid out on the floor of Noah's nursery. I haven't really packed it yet because I am still using/wearing some of the things to go in the bag, but at least I have an idea what I want to bring.
We had our last prenatal visit with the doulas two weeks ago. I am really glad we decided to hire a doula as I feel that much more prepared for what is going to come during labor and delivery.
When taking my 38 week picture this week, I noticed how low my stomach was. It was so low I thought it was a weird angle so I asked Aaron to take another picture. This one looked really low too. I compared the picture with my 37 week picture and it's incredible to see how much I've dropped between last week and this week! That makes me think Noah is ready to come!!!
So now we wait... :)
