Week 36 will always have a very special place on my heart. I don't even remember much about what we did that week but I remember feeling calm and enjoying our last moments before we became a family of three. My mom was due to arrive the day after I started week 37 and I knew the moment she got here our focus would drastically change from "Enjoying being pregnant" to "Let's get ready for labor". So me and Hubby spend a lot of quality time together, we drove to San Francisco twice, we went to the mall, we had tiny dates like having Jamba Juice and FiveGuys, we watched a couple of movies on the couch. I just really remember being really happy we could enjoy a bit of time in peace.
Week 36
The day week 37 started something changed. "Practice" contractions started to feel different that night. The next day (June 1) we went to the airport at noon to pick up my mom, and by 1 am that night we were sure I was in early labor. The baby wouldn't come for another 12 days (12 days in labor!!) but for the next 2 days we were in constant state of waiting for the contractions to get more intense so we could go to the hospital. That didn't happend so we focused on finishing all the things we needed for the baby! I didn't have a bathtub, neither the crib nor the bassinet had sheets, the hospital bag wasn't packed, and so on. So we forgot to take pictures for week 37 and 38, so this is the last one :)
On week 37 and 38 I just spend time with my mom and Hubby, and waited and waited to go into labor. After a couple of days of contractions I was EXHAUSTED, I could hardly sleep, my back was killing me, and I was just ready for the pregnancy to end. I was scared shitless of labor too though ~>.<~
I went into active labor on June 11th at 1:40am. But that is an entire different blog post :)
Thanks for reading~
