One week at a time...

I am already 38 weeks pregnant! When I look at the time that has gone by I don't feel like it has gone fast or slow, I feel like it's done and is still doing both. At times I feel like I will never be done being pregnant and at other times I feel like it hasn't been long enough. Of course, this baby will be coming in the next couple of weeks so I must continue preparing. All I really have left is to pack a hospital bag, and for whatever reason I can't make myself grasp the fact that it could happen any time now and that I do need to pack this bag. It still seems so far off. It's a very unreal experience. I'm certain it will become reality when it's time, but right now it still feels like I have 9 months of pregnancy to wait through.
Brian is all better from our shingles scare. It turned out it really was the bacteria infection and it cleared up with the antibiotics within the week so we are both quite relieved.
In other news we bought a camcorder! We are so excited! I can't wait to use it to video tape my baby and capture his precious moments! Now I just need to learn how to use it! Brian has figured it out (just like a man) but I haven't taken the time yet so I must begin doing that since I will be the one at home with our baby.
Farewell until next time... perhaps there will be a baby in next weeks post but more than likely I will still be waiting!

Good luck with labor and all the joys that come with having a baby....there's honestly NOTHING in this world that beats being a mom and meeting your first child for the first time....well have a great week and good luck with the final few weeks of pregnancy.

hey, you better start packing that bag, both my kids were 1 1/2 to 2 weeks early, you never know. What I did was pack things that I wouldnt need, then made a list of things that Shon needed to grab when we were on our way, and put it on the bag....like toothbrush, etc! good luck!

You know, the first time I went into labor I packed two bags. The second time I only brought one. a small one. You learn the first time what you need and what you don't need.
