36 Weeks

Not too much to report this time around. Feeling about the same, but my physical therapy appointments are giving me some relief. It really is pure heaven as she massages my low back/hips and pushes things back into place.

Emma has started to put her hand on my belly more and randomly kiss it. I know she doesn't truly get it, but it is sure is sweet. She sure is confused why my belly button is sticking out and keeps touching it with a weird look on her face.

We are working on finishing some things up around here before little miss makes her debut, like installing the car seat bases, packing hospital bags, etc. Definitely noticing the big differences between the two pregnancies as far as being "prepared". First time around I had made freezer meals, Emma's room was fully decorated and ready by this time, everything was washed and ready, etc. This time there are no freezer meals (yet), the nursery has nothing on the walls and probably won't before she comes, some things are washed and things still need to be brought up. Oh well, she's going to come home and have a place to sleep, eat and feel lots of love.
