36 Weeks!!

Well this week Mike is in Kansas City selling, it was very last minute, but i am super grateful that he is going out to work and is making some extra money! We unfortunately had to push out our Maternity Photo shoot another week, but thats okay it gives the leaves more time to change and give it a real Fall look! Had my 36 week appt on Friday and the doctor checked me out and said I am dilated to almost a 2 and 70% effaced, so it was a real mixture of feelings, because it means the baby is coming soon, but Mike isnt here right now...grrrr...so nervous! But the positive thing is that the doctor said she should come by her due date, so hopefully I wont go a week over!! I just need to make it to October 20th, the reason being is I have Short Term Disability Insurance that will pay on me having a baby! But I have to have the insurance for 9 months before they will actually award the insurance, which is October 20th!! So I need to hold out for at least 3 weeks!! But this week I am doing 20 freezer meals (10 recipes doubled), Packing hospital bags, washing baby laundry and taking inventory to see what else we need, kitchen cabinets, and getting the house cleaned....soooo LOTS to do!!! Wish me luck!! Love you all!!!
