38 weeks man!

Obviously, I'm not the best blogger but here's a recap of the past few weeks:

1. Finished up all centering classes/breast feeding classes/books.
2. Baby Honea will be here in the next four weeks - HOLY MOLY!
3. Nursery is almost complete - just finishing up hanging a few hand made items
4. Last day of work is Friday.

Symptoms:
-Exhaustion - mainly from not being able to move my torso anymore!
-Swelling - still in the left ankle - some minor in hands
-Daily Braxton Hicks
-Total weight gain: 27 pounds - BAM!

Feelings:
-Nervous about being a mother - Dear Lord prepare my heart
-Excited about birth/labor
-Anxious about people being at the house while trying to adjust to a newborn

Baby Names:
Girl: Adelaide Lucille Honea
Boy: Theodore Michael Honea or Nehmiah Michael Honea

After this whole process - I am looking into training to become a post-postpartum doula/lactation consultant. My life has been incredibly changed and moved by this beautiful time of pregnancy and I can't imagine the process any differently. 

Baby is head down and ready for take off - let's get this show on the road little youngin!
