Is it time yet?

I'm so ready for this pregnancy to be over with! I look and feel pretty gross. I want to see her, I want to take care of her, I want to start healing from labor, I want to start working out again. I want my body back! I have pretty much everything ready for her arrival now. The only thing I'm missing is a bath tub which I'm getting tomorrow.

9 months is a long time, thank god it isn't any longer because I don't know if I'd make it. There comes a point in pregnancy where the excitement of reading daily or weekly progress wears off, the bump is no longer cute but huge and disgusting, having to depend on people is more annoying than ever... and the spark is basically just gone. That point is right around when it's time for the baby to pop out. I technically have 4 more weeks, and the doc thinks she will be late, but I'm REALLY hoping she comes sooner than later. Everything I've read on the internet says there are no accurate predictions of when you will go into labor because anything can happen at any time, and despite the progress you've made, it can go fast or really slow. This is not helpful at all. Yesterday I was told by a friend that she doesn't think I'll make it to by due date. That was nice to hear. Anyways, planning for the worst... I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it through these last 4 weeks.. or possibly 6 (please... not 6...).

We finally got the baby's car seat in the mail from my mother-in-law. It the car seat our nephew used not too long ago when he was a baby. There is no head support insert in the car seat so I was looking on amazon to purchase one, but some people claim they aren't recommended if it doesn't come with the original car seat. So, that's my current baby stress. I never thought I'd put so much thought into each baby item we have purchased. I've spent countless hours looking up reviews for different things and making sure what I'm getting is safe, reliable, and decently priced. It gets stressful. Everybody has a different opinion about everything. Anyways, so now I don't know if I should even get a support insert.. bah..

I thought my last ultrasound was at 29 weeks but I guess I was wrong! I should be having one more next Thursday at 37 weeks. I'm excited to see her again.
