\u00a0I&#8217;ll bet you did.<\/p>\n<p>As I have read many times and as I&#8217;ve been told by many people, that basically means nothing. \u00a0It does mean that I&#8217;ll have a baby in the next 3 weeks or so, so that is good news. \u00a0The doctor asked if I&#8217;d be interested in being induced at 39 weeks. \u00a0I said no. \u00a0Why? \u00a0I don&#8217;t know. \u00a0I guess I just kind of want it to happen when it&#8217;s\u00a0supposed\u00a0to. \u00a0At the same time I wouldn&#8217;t really mind if I were to go into labor right this very moment. \u00a0So why I turned down an opportunity to possibly have this baby before 40 weeks, I have to blame mixed emotions. \u00a0She said I was free to change my mind and let her know next week. \u00a0If I start to feel super uncomfortable I might just choose take her up on the offer. \u00a0We shall see.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/babyz.hottie-biscotti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/37weeks.jpg\"><img

style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>37 weeks and 2 days\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Over the last week I&#8217;ve made some freezer meals (2 soups, tomato basil macaroni and cheese and sweet potato and chicken burritos) as well as a batch of banana bran muffins and I even managed to freeze half a pan of cake batter blondies! \u00a0I saved the rest for immediate consumption, of course. \u00a0I made some freezer meals when I was pregnant with Carson and it was very nice to take something out of the freezer the night before and know I wouldn&#8217;t have to worry about dinner the next night. \u00a0I have a feeling that those crazy days where I can&#8217;t make it to the grocery store or just don&#8217;t have the opportunity to cook will be more frequent this time around, so I will be even more thankful for these meals.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve done some &#8220;nesting&#8221; recently. \u00a0With the help of a sweet friend and her 3 sweet daughters, Baby Girl&#8217;s room is pretty much ready to go. \u00a0I am planning to take some pictures of that to share as soon as I can remember to take my camera upstairs. \u00a0It shouldn&#8217;t be that hard, but for some reason it is. \u00a0On Wednesday I vacuumed and mopped most of the downstairs and washed windows. \u00a0I&#8217;ve felt more energetic, but I think part of me is just trying to make myself go into labor by forcing those feelings that people sometimes get before the baby comes. \u00a0I remember taking the shades off of the light fixtures in our bathrooms in Amarillo and scrubbing them the day before I went into labor with Carson. \u00a0I also scrubbed baseboards that day and then we had people over to watch the Aggies and eat spicy Thai food. \u00a0Maybe I should get some Thai food and do some more scrubbing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Carson had a haircut last week. \u00a0It was so desperately needed. \u00a0We had a 50% off coupon to Snip Its, and I&#8217;m glad we did. \u00a0$10 instead of $20! \u00a0Neesha was Carson&#8217;s stylist and did a great job of getting him through the cut and making him look like a little man!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a

week we went swimming at the pool near our house. \u00a0The baby pool slopes from 6 inches to 12 so Carson was able to be in there without any help from me (other than supervision, of course, don&#8217;t get too worried). \u00a0This wound up being one of his favorite things to do.<\/p>\n<p><a
