38 weeks

So we are getting there. It seems to me that time flies so fast. I always thought that it seems like forever for pregnant women to get to their due dates, I thought and heard that they cannot wait for the day as they feel so huge and uncomfortable and cannot sleep. I'm not bragging but I still feel well, do not feel huge and really lucky to sleep pretty well through the night. My Mom said that she had no problem sleeping when she was pregnant with me until the morning when her water broke and I was born later that day. It seems like our son is being very nice and caring so far :) I really appreciate it!

I had my 38 weeks appointment and everything still looks good. On a negative note I got a call from my doctor today and it turned out that she would be out of town from October 30th through November 9th and my EDD is November 7th. It sucks big times! At the same time there is nothing I can do about it and she is going to recommend another doctor who will fill in for her if I go in labor at that time. But she also hopes that she will be back by the time I will go in labor as it's my first time and it usually happens during week 41. We'll see. Today I started talking our son into not making his appearance until November 10th, hopefully he will listen. If not, all doctors at the clinic are professional, so I hope everything will go fine.

Great news is that we officially have the name and we told it to our families. We are very happy that everyone loves it! It's the name that we initially chose. I wrote here that Chris had doubts about it but after he mentioned it to his Dad all his doubts went away as it turned out to be his Dad's favorite name and he loved it. After that we told it to my parents and Chris' Mom. Now our guy has the name :)


The nursery decoration is in place. Chris is the Hero for spending yesterday afternoon putting the wall decoration. I helped a little at the beginning and held the tree when he was putting it on the wall but he did 98% of the work. I'm very proud of him. The room looks great and every time I come in here now I cannot believe that it's our room. Our landlord was totally cool with it. He is always cool, by the way! I called him asking for his permission to put a wall decoration in the nursery, immediately he said that it's no problem and then asked: What do you want to put there? :)) He had no problem with it!

I have also finished my two cross-stitching projects that I used for decorating the baby room.

So I guess there is not that much more to say. Here is my 38 weeks and a few days picture.
