36 & 37 Weeks

37 weeks and yes...that is a moo-moo

 It is a very odd feeling to truly be in the last weeks of our pregnancy! I know that I have commented before that the weeks have flown by here at the end, but to know that we have less than a month to our EDD it is really crazy! Isaac is progressing on schedule and is even measuring a week ahead of the due date. During our visit to the Dr's 2 weeks ago a direct quote from the Dr was , "whoa Momma that is a BIG head!". Which makes it clear that he has my head and not his Daddy's..LOL!! He is still a busy boy in my tummy but things are more cramped then ever in there. That is why when he dropped last week is was a big relief. At first  was really not sure that he had dropped but then not only by the look of my belly I could for the first time in months take a deeper breath. The biggest bonus of him dropping has to be the relief of no more heart burn!

These past couple of weeks have been pretty busy...and I missed my usual post but now that I am on MATERNITY leave :) I have have more time on my hands. It is a great feeling to wake up in the morning and not have to go to work but know that I can just focus on being pregnant. Maternity leave this early was not my plan but that is what my Dr feels is best for me, so who am I to argue with Dr.'s orders. I am now just getting the finishing touches on the remaining baby stuff, I have now moved on to getting the final things ready for me.  This has been my first week of maternity leave and I am loving it...but of course anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mr. Isaac.

When you imagine yourself pregnant I don't think you could ever fully prepare yourself for what lies ahead. I remember laughing with my sisters on several occasion say "I'd never wear a moo-moo!" well folks the day has come, and I am not at all embarrassed to floss the moo-moo. Now to clarify I did not go out to the store to buy one, and it's not something that I would wear out in public (yet) but it is something that will most likely be worn daily until Isaac's arrival. This particular moo-moo holds a special place in my heart. It was made for my Mom when she was pregnant with me by my Grandma. When putting it on looking at the stitching got me all choked up. I lost my Grams when I was 16 and as a young girl always imagined her there with me through all theses big transitions in my life. To have a piece of her near me warms my heart and today just reminded me of how much I miss her. So, wearing this moo-moo is not only comfort to my body but comfort to my soul. 

This to look forward to this week: My 29th birthday! A weekly Dr's appointment, and baby watch.
