Last Week of Work!

I'm 35 weeks this week and it is my final week of work!  I am so excited.  It may not show because I can't seem to muster up enough energy to be excited, but I really am.  I am so ready to just stay home and rest more often.  I want to sleep in and not worry about walking to my desk which seems a really long distance from the front door of the building.  I want to cuddle with the dog and make sure he doesn't pee all over the house.  I want to do a little more sewing for baby before he arrives.  Heck, I just want to be able to take a nap whenever I need one!

Baby is still a mover.  I can sit and watch my belly move back and forth.  I look lopsided most of the time because he likes to sit on one side or the other and than switch.  It is pretty cute.  I just can't wait to meet him in person rather than through my stomach.

I keep wondering what he looks like--does he have hair?  What color is it?  What color are his eyes?  Does he have chubby legs like me or skinny like his daddy? 

Then I wonder what his personality is like--will he sleep well?  Is he going to be a crier?  Will he like to be held?  Will he be more independent like I was?  Will he want to be swaddled?  Or will he like being free? 

There are just so many things to think about.  I can't wait to get to know him and learn all about my little man.  Maybe I will finally start calling him by his name when he is here instead of constantly referring to him as "baby." 

I'm hoping he will come early, but I've been having a few more contractions lately and I am starting to worry that he is going to come this week!  I sure hope he holds off until I at least get to go out on maternity leave.  In fact, I scheduled a massage for next Friday, so I would really like to wait until I have a full week off of work before he makes an appearance.  Selfish, I know, but I really need some pampering because I know I won't get any once he arrives.

So, the countdown to my last day of work is nearing the end...then all I need to worry about is the countdown to when the little man arrives!
