Now I finally have her crib all set up: monitor, night light, and white noise machine in place (not all plugged in though).
Changing table is set up with the clothes washed and put away and diapers being delivered on Tuesday.
Hospital bag packed for both of us and I even went online and bought a few cute headbands in case she comes out bald. I don't have the car seat in yet, but it's all ready to be put in (have kids that need the seat still, don't want to cramp them together till I have to) and I also got a head and body support for her car seat ordered today, it should also be here on Tuesday.

I went online and bought a book on breastfeeding and the parts I need for my breast pump for when I go back to work.
I have everything set up for her birth announcements, I just have to take a picture and put in her information then order the prints. I could still pick up the envelopes and address them now, but even if I don't have that done I do have all the addresses organized to one location.
I've been having so much swelling in my feet and hands it hurts to stand or try to grab things (much less write more than a few thank you cards at a time which is something I still need to do). I'm too tired or swollen to clean my house anymore than a mild state clean (ie, things picked up, not all laundry put away but it's all clean, etc)...
She's finally (as in last night) ruined my body and spread stretch marks all the way across my stomach... I'm pretty positive she's not coming anytime soon, I still have my plug, I don't think she's dropped yet, I know she's not engaged and I'm having no contractions besides mild Braxton Hicks.
I realized I was keeping my head busy and staying sane trying to organize what I still needed or needed to get done... Now I've finished that and I still have 2 to 4 weeks left (38 weeks today and with my luck, since now I want her out, she'll wait it out till the last possible moment to leave her cushy, albiet cramped, home) to sit and do what? I've had an easy pregnancy, but it's lost it's fun factor. I'm done.
