Today, I am 36 weeks and 1 day. We have just a few more weeks until we get to meet Paige! It still feels so weird that we're having a baby. I'm going to give birth to a baby and they're going to let us take her home with us and take care of her, for like, ever. It's so unreal. We're going to be parents! At 34 weeks, we saw the doctor and he estimated that she was about 4.5 pounds and that she'll be about 7.5 pounds at birth. Everything is measuring on schedule, except her legs, which are one week ahead - so she'll be tall like Bob I guess. In the last few days, she's been stretching out these legs so that we can see a little bump moving across my big bump. It's pretty cool.
In other news, Mama came for a visit this weekend and helped me get the nursery in order and I think we are nearly finished. The room is neat and orderly, the laundry is done and the curtains are up. Now, all I need to do is go through my closet and all my shoes and downsize. It feels really good to go in that room and feel at peace now. The rest of the house is looking pretty clean and neat, too - and this makes me so happy. We're pretty much just waiting on her arrival now that all the essentials are taken care of. I wonder when her birthday will be...
