Nesting at 37 weeks

My husband has accused me of nesting... just because I have swept and deep cleaned carpets, washed a bunch of our sons clothes,and prepped freezer meals... hehe  With just under 3 weeks until our due date I would say I am allowed!!

I have a couple small projects for his papa to help me with to finish getting his room ready.  Hopefully we can get those done before he arrives, but if not it isn't anything that can't wait.  Also need to drag his daddy out to the store to pick out a poster to frame and hang in his room.  That way I can see what colors to paint for his name letters.

This past Saturday the huge kids resale that happens twice a year around here was on.  I was happy to have found all of these clothes for our baby boy.  Big sister Jillian also got some new clothes.  She had fun picking out some new dresses of course.

I also have some awesome friends who have loaned me clothes to borrow for our son.  So with my garage sale finds and those clothes he has a closet and dresser full of clothes ready for him to wear.  I spent quite a bit of time on Saturday washing and sorting boy clothes.  I am getting much more used to this.  The first time I bought any boy clothes just felt odd after over 4 years of girly only items!

Week 35 Day 5 (almost 36 weeks)

Had a check up today for baby boy.  He is head down as they want him to be at this point.  I was assuming as much based on were I get kicked all the time!!  They were able to double confirm his position by finding his heart below my belly button.  His heart beat was nice and loud when directly over it and came in at 140 beats per minute.  

They also did a check for dilation and thinning.  At this point we are at 1 cm dilated, but not thinned out yet.  The doctor advised this is perfectly fine for this time in the pregnancy.  Also due to these findings he didn't expect the baby to be born any time soon (well relatively speaking)..  We have just over 4 weeks until his due date!

Last night I experienced the worst Charley horse I think I have ever had! I am glad that I haven't had many of those and really hope it doesn't happen again!  I was trying to stretch out my leg and the muscle spasm was so strong it was forcing my toe pointed if I tried to straighten mt leg.  After physically holding up my toes and finally getting to my feet to stretch it out good it subsided.  Of course after that I had trouble going back to sleep as I was afraid it would return if I let my foot go un flexed.  I finally took some Tylenol and put an ice pack on my calf muscle and got a little more sleep.  Man my leg is tender today.  I'm trying hard not to limp too much!
