37 weeks

We're 37 weeks which means full term! We have all of the things together and prepared for our birth and the baby's nursery is finally finished! Baby is getting far too big to be in my tummy anymore and hurts me every time it kicks!

I started reading my very favorite book again, This is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn and I completely forgot that this was the first paragraph:

"Pregnant.
What silly phrases people use: in the club, up the duff, a bun in the oven.
This one is better and is true: heavy with child.
I swell with you. I hunger for you. I'm so besotted with you I want you out of me. I want to see you and hold you skin-to-skin right now.
Like everything in life, there comes a time with pregnancy when enough is enough, even for a putative mum. Well, it won't be long now."

It seems to fit quite well right now. :)
