33 days and counting....

went to the doctor yesterday - i'm not dilated, but that's ok - i still have 33 days till my due date. i'll be going in every week now, so that sucks b/c i HATE internal exams. nick is worried about not being a good dad, but i know he's gonna be awesome. i just hope that i'll be as good. mom made curtains for lola's room, they're cute - hot pink with green polka dots. we got the rocking chair home so that's awesome also. we're gonna put the crib and/or the changing table together tonight. i really wanna get it finished. i need to buy baby detergent. i always thought baby detergent was just for super sensitive skinned babies or a gimmick to take your money, but i found out in birthing class (and thru reading the back labels of various detergents) that most regular detergents reduce the fire retardancy of baby clothes and blankets - so i gotta get some and wash all her clothes (all her NB and 0-3 mos clothes at least) and get 'em put up. got some thank you notes, i still need a few people's addresses, but i guess i'll do and send what i have and eventually i'll get the missing addresses and send those too.
lola keeps moving and rolling around in my belly. it's quite awkward and sometimes pretty uncomfortable, but still awesome. i'm just really ready to have her. the swelling is getting ridiculous, i no longer have toes, i have sausages. but my blood pressure is fine, my urine has no protein in it - so there's no cause for alarm. i know it's just gonna get worse before i have her, i just hope not too much worse.
we're getting the crib mattress this week also and the bedding should be in anytime now - so it's getting awesome and exciting and close and it rocks - I WANT MY BABY!!!!
man scary. we'll see what dr. stack says tomorrow.
