It's Getting Close.....and Other Ramblings that Don't Mean Much

Labor is getting close. I am definitely feeling signs of it. I had an evening of contractions last night but they were too inconsistent. If I stood, they went away. I am pretty crampy today, but it comes and goes. I am 35w4d, so he could stay in there for another week or so, but if he is ready, he is ready! He has been consistently measuring full term for a couple of weeks now, so physically he is doing good and should be okay if he comes a few days earlier than full term. I would like to keep him in unti 37 weeks. However, I am sooooo crampy and sore and I limp everywhere I go. He is worth it though. I am just ready to be done and have him in my arms, as long as his health wouldn't be compromised.
One of my co-workers made me a gorgeous afghan for Eli. It is blues and greens and yellows all mixed in together. I love it. My co-workers are so good to me. It is going to break me in two when I have to leave here to work someplace closer to home. :(
Spring is getting closer! We had THUNDERSTORMS last night. My husband and I are weird. We LOVE getting storms. The air smells great and I love the wind that leads it in. I absolutely love everything about spring. It helps that I will have a son in the springtime too :) I will have a summer baby, fall baby and spring baby. I am so glad that I did not have a winter baby-talk about the winter blues!! I couldn't handle staying in with a newborn during that time. All dark and gloomy along with a crying baby would not mix well.
You know what I thought this morning? I was thinking.....from everyone saying the world is going to end in December, I wonder if God gave us this extra day in February on purpose this year since the year would end early???? I am just being silly. I don't think the world will end in December. I think something will happen, but whether it's catastrophic or not, who knows.
Happy Leap Day!!
