38 weeks

Still preggo.  Getting more comments from strangers every week - usually middle aged men, always pretty nice.  No random strangers have touched my belly and I am glad. 

I have been busier than ever at work with people trying to squeeze business cases and community launches and whatever they can get out of me before my leave starts.  The fact that little is transitioned because I am busy trying to finish up these items causes more work related stress than I was expecting to have at this point.

Sweet tooth is out of control (old fashioned glazed donuts, brownies, ice cream, berries are my favorite selections this week).  Have been nesting (folding diapers at 11pm counts as nesting I assume).  The famous Braxton Hicks appeared at the end of week 37 - Thursday evening they started and have been going ever since. My belly is so big and low that it is hard to sit very lady like or comfortably... And it is increasingly hard to get dressed causing at least one break down about wanting to wear normal clothes again.  At least it seems as though my growth has slowed down, my weight has gone up and down with the same 2 lbs in the past three weeks.

The thought of still being pregnant July 18th (the date my OB would induce if still preggo at that point) makes me a very pessimistic one with thoughts about how those practice contractions mean nothing and can go on for weeks at this point.  But that negative attitude certainly wasn't helped with the heat last week- holy grossness, it was 95-98 degrees the day we snapped this photo.  

So... any time you are ready, baby. 

At least we got to spend the weekend with Dan... that was a nice last minute visit.  The whole family missed him and was in need of the visit.  Granted, the visit was filled with packing and getting ready for the move but that makes for quality time.
