38 Weeks, and a peek into the nursery

Well ladies and gentlemen... we're down another week. :) I'm starting to seriously feel like a ticking time bomb. One girl from our ward when we first got married commented and said it's so exciting to wake up and wonder, "What if I have a baby today?"  I have to admit, I kind of hadn't thought that much along those lines yet, I just was thinking assuming that he'd come right on March 5th, like clockwork. :) (Who knows, maybe he will! Maybe he'll be a very punctual little gentleman.) Ever since I read her comment I've swallowed a dose of reality. Babies rarely come when they're expected. Hence feeling like a ticking time bomb. If I so much as have slight indigestion I start wondering if it's a contraction. :p (To be fair, I have heard it explained as a weird combination of serious indigestion issues combined with awful menstrual cramps. Sounds fun, right?)  Tomorrow is my last day of work, and as much as I've counted down and waited and celebrated in advance for this... I'm kind of worried now. What am I going to do with all this thinking time? Oh... given my genetics, probably worry. And fret. And stew. And worry some more. ;)  Don't get me wrong, I'm so stinkin excited to have the weight of a tiny newborn taking up my arms. I can't wait to look at his little face, and hear his little breathy noises. I'm just also in denial a tiny bit I think. In ways the past 9 months have flown by, and in others it's been... well, nine months! It's weird to think that we're in the final weeks of this process, and getting closer and closer to meeting our son. (Our son. Seriously? I can't even believe sometimes that I can say those words! I'm still just a kid, right? How are we having a child??)
So. On to the update.  Today was another doctor's appointment and good news!! I'm dilated to somewhere between a 2 and a 3! (I'd like to think it's closer to a 3. ;) ) After all the crampy contraction feelings I've had this past week I was really hoping that there would be some progress. If there wasn't I'd probably cry haha. Everything else is normal, they told me to just keep doing what I'm doing because everything looks great! 
Cravings this week: Kind of popsicles and green beans... but not really legit cravings...
Aversions: granola bars of course, but semi aversion related, nothing has really sounded all that appetizing lately. I feel like I want something obnoxiously healthy but then nothing healthy sounds good. So then I think up a big juicy hamburger because that used to just hit the spot, and that doesn't sound good either. Cereal? Nope. Potatoes? Nope. Carrots? Nope. Chicken? Nope. The bad part about that is I've been in another one of the ravenous phases where I eat and literally about an hour later I'm absolutely starving again. Oh well... 
Hardest part of this week: I just feel weird. I don't even know how to explain it to you (although I can list my growing list of discomforts) but I just feel weird lately. I've also been getting more light headed the past week. I've tried to make sure I eat frequently enough so it's not a blood sugar thing, and to drink enough so it's not a dehydrated thing... I don't ever just jump up from sitting (who are we kidding, I don't know that I'm even capable of that right now. ;) ) so I doubt it's from getting up too fast... and my blood pressure has always been in the normal range. So. I'm just crazy I suppose.  I feel a lot more 'puffy' this week. It's not anything super noticeable but I definitely feel it.  My hips still hate me, and I've been super exhausted still but at least I'm still not worse case scenario in any of my discomforts. :) I just keep telling myself there's only a couple more weeks and it could definitely be worse. 
Best part of this week: I don't have as much heart burn, and I haven't had any sick (to be read as puke) days this past week! (Three cheers there!) We also ordered our carseat/stroller which we just need to pick up now, and the baby room is as finished as it's going to get until I finally pick up a little chest of drawers. :) It seems so close now! There's definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. :p 
Speaking of Jaden's room... I finally snapped a few pictures to show you! I wish we could paint in these apartments because that would have been really fun to play with and make it more homey. Even with the boring white walls, though, I think it's turned out pretty darn cute. :) I've been able to use decorations from the baby showers to fill up some of the white space, and it's definitely my favorite room to be in now. :) 
(disclaimer: when I uploaded these pictures I noticed lots of little things that I should have changed the focus on, or moved out of the shot, so these aren't 'wow' photography pictures by any means, but at least you get the idea.)
