As of today, I am officially full term. I’m 37 weeks and we are patiently awaiting the arrival of our little one. Preparing for a baby can be super stressful, and I’m a little bit of a procrastinator for sure. My mom says I get it from my dad; I think it’s the enneagram 9 in me. Despite my procrastination and the financial challenges I’ve faced these past two months, my little guy’s nursery is about 80% ready. All that’s left is little things for organization and aesthetics. I plan to put a rug in there and buy some cube organizers – things like that. Otherwise his little crib is all set up and I’m so excited. I actually moved it into my bedroom because it’s small enough and I like the idea of him sleeping in it instead of a pack and play.
It’s definitely exciting to look at it on a daily basis, and it makes me even more excited to meet my kiddo. Making it to 37 weeks has been pure joy for me. I started this pregnancy as a ball of anxiety thinking of every possible thing that could go wrong. I’m still anxious, but it doesn’t consume me the way it once did. As I’ve stated before, feeling this kiddo move is the best part of this whole pregnancy journey. I’m actually a little sad that that part is almost over, but the positive side of that is finally having him in my arms. I’ll continue to keep you guys updated for sure.
