37 weeks down, one day to go!

Could it be possible that I am a little sad I won't be pregnant anymore after tomorrow? On the one hand its like being nostalgic about getting over the stomach flu, but at the same time I can't stop thinking that I have been carrying this little person in me all year, and now I won't be anymore. I remember our first ultra sound where they estimated he was three inches long, and now he's five pounds! This must be what it feels like to have your kids grow up too fast, and he's not even born yet! So yeah, right now I am waiting to go to my pre-op appointment, where I will find out what time tomorrow we are having the c-section. Braden is still breech, and since the cord blood and fluid have been a little questionable the past few visits they weren't going to turn him, or wait any longer for him to turn. The best news is though, that last Friday he was guesstimated to be five pounds two ounces!! I was thrilled, I kept saying I would be happy if he could just make it to five pounds, and he did! Yay baby! The thought of abdominal surgery is a little nerve wracking, but then again so was the thought of natural birth. I've never had anything more major than a tooth pulled, but at least I have thoughts of the baby to distract me with this! His room/ the guest room is pretty much all set up, even though he'll be sleeping in the room with us. Theoretically he'll be in a bassinet, but we don't have one yet, semi intentionally on my part, since I figured the longer I put that off the better my chances of just sneaking him in the bed with me :) Over the weekend Marvin surprised me with a mini baby-moon, including maternity massage, Olive Garden, and a night away in a super nice hotel room, complete with jacuzzi and giant king size bed, which I completely hogged as usual. :P It was wonderful and sweet, Marvin has been so great through this whole thing, Braden and I are very lucky!Yesterday I scrubbed the house down and washed everything in sight. The car seats are both installed, Marvin's car finally got new tires, all family is on stand-by, pretty much all thats left is to pack the bags!
