36 (and a half) week appointment

Doctor: "Well, you are 3 cm dialated and the baby's head is in perfect position."
Me: "So what does that mean?"
Doctor: "It means that the baby could come today or within the next three weeks but you probably aren't going to be pregnant for much longer."
Me: ....
Doctor: ....
Me: .... yeah .... I wasn't really ready for that....
Doctor: I hope you have the carseat in the car.

Up until now I had been banking on the fact that I wouldn't deliver until AFTER my due date. I mean, no one delivers before thier due date when it's thier first. I was two weeks late, Paul was two weeks late... Like Paul said today, "You know it's coming but secretly you think that it will never come."

The carseat situation was also complicated. You see, I had taken the carseat completely apart because it was used and I wanted to wash it, every part of it, absolutely every part of it. I had been procrastinating putting it back together because it took me about an hour to take apart and I didn't want to admit to my husband that I had no idea how to put it back together.

So the major accomplishment for tonight was installing the carseat. At least that's done. And he did put it back together for me. Next, I need to pack my bag for the hospital, if you can believe I haven't even done that yet.

I promise that someday I will quit talking about my pregnancy! I know how frustrating it can be to hear about all the time, but that's my life right now.

In other news, Paul's last day of school was today! Wahoo, he is officially a project manager. He also had an interview today, which went well. Tomorrow I will take him out to dinner to celebrate.
