I am now 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant, which means I'm full term! Yay! With the showers and gift cards and money, we now have everything we need for the Gabe! We are ready for him to come now! (Tim's been ready for a while, but I feel much better about it now that we are prepared. I even cleaned all the toys and pacifiers today!). I don't know that I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions...I've been feeling different things but I don't know what it means! That's what I think about most right now (besides the extreme pain that is coming my way, which I don't know if I will be able to handle or not): when is labor going to start and will I know it's starting?? :-) I've been told that I'll know, but it's just not knowing when it's coming that bothers me. I want to KNOW what to expect and when to expect it, but of course that is not possible.
At the doctor's office last week she said that he feels like he's about 6 pounds, and they typically gain half a pound a week, so if I go all the way to my due date, he'll probably be around 8 pounds. I go back to the doctor every week now until I have the baby.
One thing we do lack is a house. We had decided that our living expenses were too high in the townhome we're in now, so we put in our notice and will be moving when our lease is up on December 31st. There is a couple at church who had been looking for a house to buy and rent out, and they have been looking for one for us to rent from them. We got close to getting one a couple of months ago, but it didn't work out. We've looked at a couple more and are going this afternoon to look at one that seems like the best one so far, as long as there's no structural problems, so hopefully something will work out soon.
For now, we're anxiously waiting for Gabriel to grace us with his presence! :-)
