35 weeks

You want to hear something crazy?  I was having lots of contractions (more than normal) on the day of my appointment last week (still no progress, thank goodness, just Braxton Hicks) and my doctor said they won't stop labor if it happens after 35 weeks.  It's just crazy to think that you worry so much until you get out of the first trimester, then you worry until you hit viability at 24 weeks, then you worry about preterm labor and a NICU stay, but I am actually to the point where this baby could be born at any time with no major concerns (although it would still be considered preterm).  It's hard to wrap my mind around.

I'm not going to lie, I had a rough week.  I'm entering into the territory of uncomfortable, cranky pregnant lady, and it's just as hard on Rodney as it is on me.  I've had some major lower back/pelvis/tailbone pain that makes it really difficult to walk around.  Thankfully it's not present every day, so I'm thankful for the good days and grin and bear it (or cry and complain) on the bad days.

All of Bruce's newborn and 0-3 month clothes are washed and ready, and the rest of the nursery is almost done.  Rodney hung the curtains this week and we still need to add some shelves to one wall.  Other than that, we still have piles in the corners of things that need to be returned and boxes that need to go the garage or attic.  I would love to get it finished up in the next week or so and put together a nursery reveal post.

35 weeks down, 35 days to go!
