Hi all! I am now 33 weeks, which makes me full term in 4 weeks, which is just CRAZY!!! We went to the doctor yesterday Benjamin's head is VERY low, which is good because if helps to soften the cervix, but is a little bad because I could go into pre-term labor. I told Dr. B that I was uncomfortable and that I felt pressure down low, and he said no wonder because he really is that low! I finally found 3 outfits that are cute enough to bring him home from the hospital in this past weekend. I will take all 3, then we will decide what to put him in when we are there. They found Key Stones in my urine sample, which means I am not eating enough carbs. He said I changed my diet to much and need to eat more. Those are words that I LOVE TO HEAR!!! He debated having me go in once a week, but said we can wait two more weeks, then after that it will be every week. I asked about an epidural, and I think that is what I will go with, unless I am able to cope with the pain medication they give me before I get the epidural. I also asked him other questions, but since my dad and brother read this... I will not share :) Needless to say we are totally ready and totally excited!!
Oh, I GRADUATE MAY 22nd!!!!!! I can't beleive that on May 22nd I will officailly have My Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies and my multiple subject teaching credential with an emphasis in early childhood education. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I am pretty proud of myself. Oh I also have to brag about how amazing my hubby is. He was in San Diego this weekend and when he got home he gave me a present. He went into a Motherhood Maternity store in San Diego and bought me my hospital outfit for once the baby is born. SO SWEET. I also got several text messages from the guys Derek was with telling me that all Derek was talking about was Benjamin. So adorable and so special to know how excited he is. I can't wait to see Derek hold Benjamin for the first time, it will be amazing!!!

Well, I'm pretty proud of you also and again Derek is awesome.
Love it! Eat, eat, eat girlfriend... it's for Ben. I hope you don't go into pre-term labor, the whole pressure "down there" really sucks. Jax's head is down too, but I don't feel THAT much pressure. I'm really sore all the time though. You're looking great. We are so close!!
Before you get to see the hubby hold the baby you'll get to see the tremendously satisfying look of utter amazement on his face as he sees the baby emerge. It is a very validating wide-eyed look, making you feel even more proud of all your efforts. Be sure to watch for it. ;-)
So kim, I don't know if it is all the hormones or what, but your comment made me cry. I am so excited for that moment!!!
I knew tears would come with Kim's comment. I think it's the moment that daddies realize what has been going on and the reality of fatherhood.
