38 Weeks

Just a couple more weeks (hopefully) until we get to meet our little lady.  I am super excited and for the most part, ready.  Today I got a babysitter and headed out to do some shopping sans kids.  My list was pretty basic so I figured I'd be able to find what I needed easily.

PJs for the hospital and for the first few days at home
Earrings, because when nothing else fits, they will
A fake wedding ring set because I'm too fat for mine right now
An overnight bag for the hospital
Pretty little clothes for baby in the hospital

I went to the NEX and came out with...nothing.  PJs were either teeny bopper or old lady, earrings were not what I was looking for, the fake rings were super ugly and they had no true wedding sets, there were no overnight bags at all except for Vera Bradly (which I don't like), and they quit carrying Ralph Lauren baby clothes at the NEX and only had Carters. 

I was feeling pretty darn defeated.  I couldn't believe I paid a babysitter to find nothing at all!  Even after coming home and looking online I'm coming up empty.  I get too overwhelmed with all the choices on the internet and sort of lose focus. 

Other than that things are good.  My appointment went well on Monday.  I'm going to retest for strep B next week and see if it's gone away.  I'm taking lots of vitamin C and probiotics to see if that might help.  I cannot wait to not be pregnant.  I am at the point of wanting to burn my maternity clothes.  I cannot complain.  Really, I feel quite well and still have energy, but I'm just ready!  This feels like the longest pregnancy ever.  I'm pretty sure that's because we moved 3 times during it and Dan has been gone so much. 

No picture this week.  I'm done taking them.  I just look kind of the same and I hate my fat arms and face so I don't see the point of posting them again and again.
