37 weeks CRAZY

I cant believe there is only a little over 3 weeks until Mason's due date! Even less if he chooses to come early which i feel like he will. I am getting really excited although i wish i could skip the labor and the first couple days! i'm nervous really. But I'm ready to get my body back and to see what he looks like!
It feels so weird having him move because he has no room. he pushes from every which way. he is stuck on my right side. the doctor said he must not be very flexible because he shoves with his legs into my right ribs. he was more at an L shape instead of the fetal position. Just like Travis... he can't touch his toes
He gets the hiccups multiple times a day. I counted 8 times the other day
my doctor says he's measureing big but that i hide him well. the other day someone thought i was 6 months along instead of 8 and a half. Its annoying because I feel enormous and he is so stinking heavy.
I organized all his clothes and am working on his nursery decor. I will post pictures when it is all done.
I am still going to work and am doing pretty good. one infant should be easier than 20 4-5 year olds right?!? ha ha
any last minute advice would be wonderful :)

Wow what a cute prego girl you are. Good luck! I am inspired by your goal list...I think I'm going to update mine!
I think my piece of advice would be not to worry about everyone's advice (all the time)! It's always good to know what works for someone but if it's not what you want to do it will just stress you out. The great thing is, you get to choose what you do!:)

My labor and delivery and new mommy advice is be prepared for ANYTHING. I mean a really quick, no time for pain killers deliver and a 48 hour long deliver. A C-section, horrible recovery, easier recovery than you had hoped for. A happy baby, a cranky, fussy baby. A excellent nurser or a baby who doesn't latch. I think you get the point. Every baby is different, so just be prepared to be happy as long as you and the baby are healthy, just be happy! And good luck.

This is obviously not Sean, it's Sam. Haha. Sean says good luck though.

My advice is simple, ask for help if you need/want it! Everyone understands how hard it can be to recover and care for a new born with no sleep. If someone offers to help with something, accept it. This will help you be able to bond with and enjoy little Mason when he comes :)

you look like you're carrying a soccer ball! so tiny and cute! during labor, just focuss on something and do deep breathing during the contractions. (that's my advice because that's what i did :)) best wishes, and have fun. give him a kiss for us when he gets here. love, aunt laura xo (your mom must be soooo excited!)
