38 Weeks

Wow, I suck. I only just realized that today was Wednesday.  That puts me at 38 weeks today!! I'm 14 days away from my due date. Eeeekk!!

I had intended to go into town to buy some items for my hospital bag today, but since I have to make a trip tomorrow and the next day, I put it off.  Here's hoping I don't go into labour tonight, because I will be pretty unprepared.  I still have to buy nursing bras, and granny panties for after labour.  I should get some vaseline and diaper cream, and the baby soap I bought is sitting in Toronto with my broken down car, so I'll need some more of that I think.  So much to do.

Amelia is now somewhere between 6 and 7 lbs, according to the stats, and between 19 and 21 inches long.  I am willing to bet she is closer to the smaller side since I don't feel too huge yet.  Maybe I will blow up in the last two weeks, but hopefully not.

I've been reading birth stories online the last few days.  Reoccurring themes that jump out at me: pain, lots of pain, tubs and water make pain less, and it is worth it in the end.  I am starting to think more about how much this is going to hurt, and beginning to wonder how I will cope.  I really don't know what I'm in for here....
