38 weeks, 1 day
T-13 days until baby's due date
T-13 days until baby's due date
*Feeling period-like cramping off and on. My lower back, hips, and legs tend to ache a little before my period starts and I've had that feeling intermittently the past 2 days. When I was pregnant with Carter, I had that exact kind of cramping/aching for most of the week and then went into labour at 4:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. So, maybe my body is gearing up for labour? We'll see, I suppose ;)
1. My sister in law is 36 weeks today. Her doctor thinks she will deliver before her due date - maybe in her 37th week. If she's right, and if I'm right on my feeling that I won't deliver until week 39, we will have our babies in the same week. We're going to try to text one another throughout labour, if we can, and I keep thinking it would be so crazy to be in labour at the same time. I know it's unlikely, but really, it was unlikely that neither of us were "trying" to get pregnant and we did -- within two weeks of each other.
2. Our little family got to spend all weekend together, just the three of us, and it was pretty awesome. Once Carter was in bed, Jeff and I topped tonight off with key lime pie, tea (for me), coffee (for him), and an episode of Sons of Anarchy. *sigh* perfection.
3. Today was a good house-cleaning day. I need about four more of these and I'll be happy with the state of my house. I think it's so funny that nesting means finding dust in places you didn't even know existed in your house. I surprise myself with the "new" things I find to dust. It's really completely ridiculous, actually. Anyway, the trouble is that four more of these days would come at the expense of days with Carter and I feel too close to the end of time with just him and I to give that time up.
Okay, I'm taking my pregnant ass to bed to start reading (and probably falling asleep within the first few pages) of Gone Girl.
Have a good week, everyone!
