Week 37

At week 37, your pregnancy is considered full term, meaning baby is likely thrive after birth. Baby spends these last weeks in preparation for the outside word... meaning careful refinement of the blink, suck, inhale and exhale. Meconium, which you'll probably find in the first diaper, is accumulating in the intestines. If, (okay, as) you worry about giving birth, consider what it's like for the little one. During the journey out of the womb, baby will produce more stress hormones than any other time during life.

Holy head banging....

Brenna has decided that she is going to take up a hobby.......head banging. Now this wouldn't be so bad but every time she head bangs she hits my bladder. I seriously feel like I have to pee every 10 or 15 minutes. And let me tell you that it isn't so much fun.

I am beginning to think Shane and I should have invested in stock in the toilet paper companies. We buy more toilet paper than I thought ever possible. haha I will be sure to buy all cousins, sisters, etc. toilet paper when they announce a pregnancy so that they save a little money. haha

In other news my Aunt Donna and Uncle Ronnie bought us a beautiful dresser for Brenna's room. Shane is going to paint it and then I will post a picture. I am so very thankful for our generous families. We appreciate them all so much and really couldn't do this without their support and lovingness.
