37 Weeks!

I didn't have a doctor's appointment today, but I thought I would write a quick post for all of those who anxiously await a post on Mondays. I am doing well and greatly enjoying being able to move around again. I haven't done too much yet because Darin had to go up north of Dallas today and we didn't want the baby to come when he was six hours away. I did get to do some shopping today, which was exciting, to pick up a couple things that I really wanted to get before the baby came. Things like nursing bras, the baby book, and some things for the time at the hospital. All went well and Darin is back home, which is very exciting because I am great at thinking about the worst case scenario and was sure that baby was going to come while he was gone.
Our little one has been moving around tons these days, she likes to stretch out and make the most of the limited space she has. It was really amazing to feel the other day, she stuck out her foot and I could feel it in the palm of my hand, so small, yet I could feel the whole thing. I am starting to feel rather pregnant at times and laugh often when I try to do things, but am restricted by belly. Like trying to reach for something in the car, I often get thwarted by my belly running into my legs before my arms can reach the object. The other day I was laughing really hard at myself because I kept dropping popcorn, but my belly kept catching it and it rolling inward instead of off. Darin was laughing as well, but mostly at me thinking it was so funny, rather then him really thinking it was that funny.
Other baby news, is that we went to another childbirth class, which was geared towards couples wanting to go the natural route and it went well. We learned more relaxation techniques and massaging techniques for the husband. It was taught by the same lady who taught our first class, but there were only three couples instead of eight like the last time, so it was easier to ask questions and interact with everyone.
Well, that is all I can think of at the moment, I will try to give an update tomorrow after my doctor's appointment if I remember to.


This second picture is rather humorous because that is usually my first response to taking pictures and normally it doesn't get captured, but Darin snaps many pictures no matter if I am posed or not, so I thought that I would share a funny picture as well as one that shows the growing little one.

Great pictures, Jody...especially liked the funny one of you! The popcorn story was funny, too! Glad you were able to get some things you need before she makes her arrival. We're all anxiously awaiting. Take care...we love you...and are praying for the three of you!
Love, Mama T

Looking good Jods! I particularly like the second picture because as you said, that is your usual pose alright! Have seen that one many, many times before! :-)
