36 days

I stayed home from work today, I didn't want to but I woke up this morning with a very sore back. I couldn't stand up straight for a bit! It's much better now, thanks to the back massage device we have and a nice warm shower. The pain I've had has also made me feel kind of nauseous. I had a feeling that today would be a bit rough as yesterday I was feeling a LOT of pressure in my pelvic region. Baby has definitely dropped, so I'm breathing better. But as I have discovered throughout this pregnancy one positive thing brings a "negative" thing (please don't think I mean the "negative" as being bad...just an uncomfortable thing).

We're pretty much ready for baby to come, but not too soon. The room is ready, the car seat will be installed this weekend, I hope. We need to buy a few items still, like diapers, wipes, etc. Also, I'm on the hunt for a cute outfit to bring baby home from the hospital in. I didn't realize how difficult it is to find a gender neutral outfit that isn't a sleeper! We may just have to buy an outfit for a girl and one for a boy.

By the way, as the title says, only 36 days until baby is supposed to make his/her grand entrance into this world.

I recommend the long sleeved onesies (striped; come in packs of two; blue or pink in a bag) from Walmart. They have built-in mitts for those little scratchers!
Sorry about the back ache. The last month sucks!

Gender neutral stuff is soo hard to find! The onesies that Jill recommended are great. I keep buying them in the bigger sizes as Eva grows...I think we're on to our 3rd set now. Hope the last month goes well and that baby arrives safely!

I remember how uncomfortable things get at the end of the pregnancy. Put your feet up lots. I am pretty sure I bought both a boy and girl outfit for our first surprise. The second we knew it was a girl.
