Week No. 38

Blake and I finished the nursery last weekend, although Blake really did most of the work. It turned out amazing. Better than what I had planned or expected. I am so excited to meet our baby boy and bring him home. I have began counting down the days, and I find myself reminding Blake constantly of the little time we have left for ourselves. I am positive he is sick of hearing about it. 
The doctor says our baby boy appears healthy and it seems he is more active than ever. I love holding my hand against my belly and feeling his little foot swipe up against it over and over. I know I will miss that sensation more than anything. There's nothing quite like it. 
Recently, I've started having more frequent Braxton Hicks contractions and false labor throughout my back. Sometimes it hurts so bad I find myself curling up into a ball (or as much of a ball as I can) and just pouting it out like a child. Blake is so amazing; he really has done such a great job taking care of me and I'm so grateful to have him. I would truly be helpless without him in my life, especially now when I find myself so overwhelmed at times. There is no one else in this world that I can even imagine making this commitment with and starting a family. I know he is going to be an absolute amazing dad, and I can't wait to see him hold his little baby boy. 

Although there is a small part of me who is worried this baby might just make an arrival earlier than planned, I take comfort in knowing that we are finally ready.
