"A grand adventure is about to begin" - Winnie the Pooh

Guys... only 3 weeks and 5 days until my due date.... I may or may not be freaking out a  bit about it. Mostly because Christopher and I have yet to be able to move in to our new house yet. We bought a single wide and plopped it right down the road from his parents but it has been a total and complete nightmare ever since. Not to mention we've been crashing at their place for almost 3 weeks. We finally technically own it and are allowed to move in but still have tons of touch up work and cleaning to finish on our own before we can actually start getting everything in there and unpacking. So basically I have nothing ready for us let alone the baby and I'm a little (a lot) panicked I won't be able to get it all done in time. But! Still insanely excited too! I just can't believe how close it is! And I can't believe how much there is to do! Its just a big crazy circle thats driving me nuts!

So! As of now I still feel pretty great considering I'm 8 months pregnant. I've only gained 13 pounds total and almost no one believes me when I tell them that I'm 36 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I am starting to get uncomfortable, I do get quite the lower back pain on occasion but nothing to complain about! In fact, I'd say the worst of it is that I literally pee up to 6 times a night. Its crazy. But hey, I know what your thinking, if thats the worst of it than I'm lucky, ridiculously lucky and I know I am! It seems at though my body was made to BE pregnant just not to actually GET pregnant, lol. Honestly I still don't have hardly any of the "normal" pregnancy symptoms either. My ankles were slightly swollen once for a day but went back to normal, I haven't had any weird cravings, my heartburn is barely worse than usual on occasion, no nausea since weeks 8-10 and even pretty normal energy levels most of the time (although the exhaustion does hit now and again). I'm actual grateful to be down to every week appointments because if it weren't for my belly and the occasional bouts of strong(er) movement I'd still be worried that this was all a dream! I took maternity pictures with my sweet sister in law earlier this week and I can't wait to see them and show them off if only to prove that I am indeed pregnant and that this baby is indeed coming and SOON! :0
