35 Weeks

35 weeks pregnant!!!  YAY!  Went to the doctor on Monday and was told that baby is head down (thank God!!!) and is very low so should not move at this point.  Also I'm 2 centimeters dilated.......I'm so excited!!!  I know that this may not mean much at this point but I really think I will go early.  My doctor said there is no way I will go past my due date being this far along already.  She said that she doesn't anticipate anything happening within the next two weeks but anything could happen after that.  Baby Kong is really on his way :)
We had our final baby class tonight and we got a tour of the labor and delivery room which was kind of scary.  I just don't like hospitals, but there's no way around it.  I think maybe it just made things really real for me and put things into perspective.  We saw the baby nursery which Johnny compared to a pet store but with real human babies....since you could just stand and gawk at them through a window.  They were so tiny and cute though.
I'm now racking my brain trying to think of everything and anything I need to buy or do still before little man arrives.  The nursery looks great....just a few last minute things to do still, baby clothes are washed, just need to wash blankets/quilts and things like that.  Although the woman who did our class tonight was really blunt and honest about a lot of things which is great, and she mentioned how she thinks its so funny how everyone is told that they have to wash everything baby in baby Dreft (special detergent) when in reality the babies spent the first 3 days of their lives wrapped in hospital wear which was washed and bleached in the harshest detergent around!  hahaha good point!  Needless to say I did not buy the Dreft but I did buy Tide hypoallergenic.
In other news its going to be in the 90s tomorrow and I feel like a house!  Well not really a house but I am still dumbfounded that my stomach continues to get bigger, its really amazing how your skin stretches like it does.
So I started to think about what women do who have their water break in the middle of the night, they must have such a mess on their beds.  So I've decided to put a pad under the sheets on my side of the bed.  I mean can you imagine Johnny cleaning up that mess??!!  Yeah right!
So here is this weeks pic, I will upload more of the nursery soon.
