Week Thirty-Six

I am really getting excited about having a baby soon!!  When I look at the little tiny newborn clothes I’ve been packing to take to the hospital, I can’t help but smile and remember with such fondness how wonderful it was when Vera was first born.  (She’s wonderful now too!)

I can really feel Mango bearing down now (she is head down, as far as we can tell).  I have had some Braxton Hicks contractions this week, but they haven’t made me “progress” any yet.  I have taken Tylenol PM a couple of times so that I could sleep at night.  I have been exhausted yet unable to sleep solidly, so the medicine has really helped.

Everything went well at my appointment with my midwife yesterday.  I’ll be going every week from here on out now! 

We’ve worked really hard on painting the nursery this week.  I’ve also been working on getting things checked off of my baby countdown list!  Lots still to do, but we’re getting there!

Week thirty-six with Vera.
