I'm ready.

A week ago if you had asked me, "Kyle - are you ready to have this baby?" - I would have exclaimed, "No - she's not due for another month - I feel great and am nowhere near ready!". Ask me again today. I am ready. As of this weekend I am not feeling that great. Let me complain for a minute - I am hot (and it is not that hot yet). I am emotional (feeling like I am always on teh verge of tears!). I am short tempered (PJ is loving that). I am nauseous. I am full but hungry. I am running out of room in my belly (which by the way, is way bigger this time!).

Last week my dr and I talked about the option of starting to strip my membranes this week to help start my cervix softening - I was thinking I would wait until at least 38 weeks, but now I am thinking that tomorrow sounds great.

And I am nesting - I don't really remember nesting with B, but this time I can tell. For example - Sunday night when I got home from STL I felt the incredible urge to pack a hospital bag RIGHT THEN. I took all my weekend clothes from the bag and piled them on top of the rest of the clothes I needed to put away and frantically started packing. And there is so much that I have decided HAS to get done this weekend - random things and necessary things - from purchasing my new pump, to cutting the grass, to setting up the co-sleeper, to buying Dreft, to reorganizing the basement (last night I HAD to sweep part of the basement and the other night I was cleaning all the walls and baseboards in the kitchen) - I told you so. Nesting. Oh - and we HAVE to trade my car in this weekend. Therefore, I have to last until at least Sunday. But I am ready. I think.

That all being said, I am not expecting ANYTHING to happen before June 30. Sigh.
