How is everyone?

Wondering how everyone is doing?  Nesting like crazy?  Ready for it to be over?

36 weeks here Monday ... it's around the corner!!!

I've done 98% of my nesting/packing and now I have a mental block about the last 2%.  I have three books on natural childbirth but haven't started rereading any of them yet.

I'm really tired these days- I nap when my dd does and have to sit down and catch my breath when unloading the dishwasher!  The heartburn is pretty bad this time around, and some days I feel like someone hit me with a sledgehammer in the unmentionables.  But I am loving every thump, roll and hiccup!

jrobertson - I know how you feel about uncomfortable ... I swear I didn't feel like this until the very end with my last, the pressure and the bladder hits seem to be the worst.  I swear sometimes she's pushing on my cervix and trying to get out!  When I saw the doc last week on Monday I was already dilated 1 cm, she has also already dropped, although the doc said she was at least at -3 or -4 station.  I'm still taking it easy but get to stop taking the meds for contractions in 1 week and then it's full steam ahead!

As for nesting ... I keep looking around me in agony!  There is just so much to do and I can't do it all on my own.  DH and the kids help, but you know it's not the same!  I do as much as I can until the contractions get too uncomfortable and then I stop ... but it isn't enough.  I think I'll feel more comfortable pushing through it next week once I hit the 36 mark, but have been trying to behave until then.  I just hope she doesn't decide to arrive early before I'm ready.  Of course, having said that ... I still can't wait for her to arrive!  I'm hoping that with the combo of the contractions, dilating already at 35 weeks, and all that pressure she'll make her appearance around 37 or 38 weeks!  I guess we'll see what the doc has to say tomorrow morning!

I'm doing good....so ready for it to be go time and meet my little girl!!!!!!  I am 34 weeks today so 6 more until my due date.  I am nesting like crazy.  We are completely re-painting our whole upper level of our house as well as putting all new flooring in.  I just had my baby shower today which was great and I got ALOT of things for her....now if her room just had the carpet I could set it up.  I started packing my hospital bags today as well so can't wait.  I am getting SSSOOO uncomfortable and tired again.  Good luck to everybody in these last few weeks!!!!!!
