T-36 days to go!

So I had my 35 week appointment today and there wasn't much new that they told me. The baby is about 5 1/2 weeks from being due, and all else seems normal.

Now let's define "normal" - swelling, fatigue, round ligament pain...all normal :). Anxiety, mixed in with anticipation is also "normal".

The house set up is coming along - as is the nursery. Even though we've made a lot of progress, I still feel like we're a gazillion miles away from having the house ready for baby. I know that sounds a bit ridiculous - I know baby doesn't need much anyhow. She'll have milk, clothes, diapers, and two loving parents. I'm sure that is really all she needs.

BUT, I know that all the stuff that needs to get done around the house won't really get done after she arrives. Moving at 30 weeks pregnant is really not something I suggest anyone to do. I'm trying to take a "laid back" attitude, and not let small things get to me...but I'm definitely not programmed that way it seems. Reprogramming oneself is not an easy task, but I'm trying!

I've been reading up on nursing and calming unhappy babies. I've gone to LLL meetings and watched DVD's on how calming techniques. We'll see how useful any of these things are once baby arrives :).

Husband and I are super excited to meet this little munchkin who's kicking around inside.
