Well, folks, I have hit the 34 week mark. Our baby boy will be "full term" in 3 weeks and my due date is 6 weeks away!
I am definitely feeling ready to be done being pregnant and can't wait to meet our little boy! I am, however, having anxiety over the "what ifs." What if we didn't get something that we absolutely NEED on day one? What if he doesn't like the stuff we do have and we have to get other things? What if he comes early? What if I go into labor and no one is available to take care of the dogs and cat? What if I go into labor and we are having a snow storm?
This may be part of the reason for my lack of sleep as of late. This past week I started sleeping in our guest room. It is very weird to be sleeping alone, but the extra space and pillows, and lack of animals is helping me get more sleep. I was having issues with our bed-sharing Puggle hogging the covers and the cat jumping on me all night long. I still feel like I could fall asleep at any moment during the day, but I'd be even more tired without the sleep I'm getting at night.
I think that the baby may have "dropped" today. I have really felt okay and been moving around pretty well (except for occasionally needing assistance with shoe tying, haha), but starting this morning, it has become a whole new ballgame. I feel so much pressure and I am so much more uncomfortable. We have an appointment on Thursday to check on the baby's growth, etc. so I should know more then. Makes me nervous! Did anyone else drop early and was it okay for the remainder of your pregnancy? I am okay with the idea of our little guy arriving a few weeks early if he is healthy and ready to meet us, but not this early!
