36 Weeks

One month left.  There are lots of emotions at this point; excitement for what is to come, anxiety about the rest of pregnancy, fear about labor and recovery, relief about being done with pregnancy, and hormone fluctuations on top of all that. 

I'm working right up until my due date, but my body has been forcing me to take it easy, which is kind of frustrating.  I'm very task oriented and have lots left to do, and "relaxing" has always been difficult for me; but I'm learning to let go and not over do it. 

Parker Penny is about 18.75 inches and 5.75 pounds. I'm not sure if she's dropped, but I now have to pee about every 20 minutes.  I need to up the budget for toilet paper, seriously.  

The only thing I'm still really struggling with is the carpel tunnel.  I'm trying to stay positive and remind myself that I only have to deal with this for another month.  Other than that, I'm doing really well and trying to enjoy where I'm at. 

I love watching Andy interact with Parker.  He loves feeling her wiggle and gives her kisses through my belly.  I absolutely cannot wait to see him become a daddy.  He already talks about the daddy daughter dates he plans on having; apparently tennis and golf are in her future.
