Chugging right along!

As of today I am 36 weeks and 5 days...so, almost 37 weeks. I can't believe that on Tuesday when I am 37 weeks, Olivia will be considered full term and could come (safely) at any time. I am so curious about what she is going to look like, how big she will, how much she will weigh, etc., etc. It's hard to believe that in a mere 23days (or so) I will get to find out.

At my doctor's appointment last week, my midwife was listening to her heartbeat and she kept wiggling around, which she usually does. I guess because of her high heart-rate and the fact that she's such a wiggle-worm, my midwife commented that she was "hyper" and that I will "have my hands full." That's fine with me. I'd rather have a hyper, active baby than a quiet one, especially while she's inside me.

This weekend we have had amazing fall-like weather and I couldn't be more excited! I have been so hot all summer long so these cooler temperatures feel heavenly. The only problem now is that for the next 3 weeks or so I don't have any pants that are comfortable/fit. It looks like I'm going to have to invest in at least one pair of maternity jeans to tide me over. With shirts I can probably make do.

Time is going by a little faster these days. While my parents were out of town for Labor Day weekend, Yusaku put in all new Ikea cabinets in their kitchen. I "supervised," offered moral support, cleaned up the leftover debris, and tried to help in some small ways. Yusaku did all the hard work, of course, and it looks great! I can't wait to see my parents' reaction when they come back home.

The plans for the rest of the weekend entail buying myself a new pair of jeans, hopefully getting a new/fixed phone, watching the Holiday at Home parade tomorrow, and just enjoying the beautiful weather. Tuesday I will be heading out to Precious Blood (now Mother Maria Anna Brunner, although I can't get used to calling it that) to volunteer in the morning and to my doctor's appointment in the afternoon.

Yusaku will be traveling this coming week Tuesday to Thursday but should be home after that for good, which makes me happy considering Olivia could show up any time in the next few weeks and I'd really like him to be here for that.  I'm really looking forward to the Greek festival next weekend, mostly just because I love the food! :)

I think that's the end of my rambling! Will update soon!
