37 Weeks! She's full term!

Well, our world is getting a little crazier! Today, I'm officially 37 weeks, the baby is full term! Our due date is 3 weeks from yesterday! Eek!! We have been doing all we can to get ready for our baby girl's arrival! Above is one of the pictures we had taken when we went to Sears in April, I was almost 33 weeks at the time. The pictures we had done turned out really nice, but Gregg gets all the credit for coming up with the above pose and it turned out to be our favorite! My Mom came out to visit this last week for a few days and she and Gregg were machines getting ready for baby! They did crazy amounts of laundry, put lots of things together, went shopping, my Mom made food for us to freeze when baby comes and she brought two more sheets she made for our custom bassinet mattress. We were also able to take my Mom out for a Mother's Day dinner while she was here, which was nice!
There are my work-a-holics! They took care of so much, it helped relieve a great amount of stress! You guys were rock stars! Thank you so much! We had a Childbirth Prep class Friday night and Saturday. My Mom was able to come to the class with us Friday night before she had to leave Saturday morning. We got a lot out of this class. They covered the natural, epidural, c-section births, labor positions, when to go to the hospital, plus lots of other good info and we got lots of chances to see the cute babies in the nursery during our breaks! It was a lot of information to take in, so we still have to soak up all that we learned. We have one class left this Thurs and next Thurs. Originally, I was going to have to go by myself because Gregg works Thursday nights, but his boss was nice enough to let him make up the hours with comp time and he'll be coming with me! :-)
Gregg and his friend, Jason (pictured far left), decided they were going to throw each other diaper parties. Jason's wife, Ali, is pregnant, too! I'm convinced they made such a party up. They decided it's a "guy's shower" where all the guys bring diapers instead of presents. Gregg threw Jason one a few weeks back and Jason threw one for Gregg this last Saturday evening. Gregg had a great time just playing a little softball with friends. It was a gorgeous evening for a little guy time!
While the boys played, myself, Ginny (Colby's wife, left) and Ali (Jason's wife, right) went out to dinner and had some girl time! It was a yummy and fun night out for us, too!
It's still just so crazy that in a matter of a few weeks, we're going to have a daughter here with us! We can't wait to meet her! It's wild to think about what she'll look like and the process I'll go through to get her here! The blog always freaks me out a little when I log on as the countdown gets so close! But we just hope and pray that all goes well these last few weeks and that she comes into this world safely and healthy!
