39 Weeks!!!

I can't believe I'm a week away from my due date.  I'm actually 2 days away from my "other" due date which is just crazy to me.  I had been very anxious to meet Sweet Baby, but now I have changed my mind and decided it would be better if she waited until Grandma is here to help out with the kids when I go to the hospital.  She comes in 6 days.  At my last appointment there was pretty much no change since 2 weeks before so I'm hopeful.  However, none of this is my choice so I might as well just settle down and enjoy the ride. 
Dan and I are loving to watch her dance at night.  She's a little mover!  It will be so different to have her with us on the outside.  Because I am sleeping well now, I'm afraid there will be quite an adjustment when she comes. 
I have been trying to get the kids enrolled in activities before the baby comes.  Ashton and Landon started a handbuilding pottery class yesterday and Q and A start a drawing class tomorrow.  We went and observed the Tae Kwon Do class on base, but I am not sure it's something I want to invest in.  I would love to find piano and soccer.  The girls are on the wait list for gymnastics (it's on base and always full) and I hope to get them into dance this weekend. 

Dan has been working a lot.  He's been working every Saturday for over a month (and Monday-Friday of course) and this is the first Saturday he'll be off.  However, he has duty.  That means he will go into work early Saturday morning and won't come home until Sunday morning.  I'm furious.  I think I may have had a small temper tantrum when he told me.  This is our last weekend (most likely) before the baby comes and we have not been able to do anything as a family for the most part. Sunday is taken up by church and naptime.  He had mentioned he might be able to switch with someone, but I'm not holding my breath. 

Here is a picture of me at 38 weeks.  I said I wouldn't do anymore pictures, but I had the camera out and took this one. 

I made this ring sling and can't wait to try out having a baby in it!  It was pretty confusing to make, but now that I have it figured out I think I could make more of them pretty easily.  I also made a gauze wrap of a similar color.  No picture because I cannot wear it with this big belly!


I think I'm pretty much ready for the baby.  We need to get the carseat out and wash the cover and I probably should rethink my "coming home" outfit and be a little more realistic about what I will fit into.  :)
