38 weeks and 1 day

It was another amazingly nice weather weekend in Seattle, so we took Holly to the beach at Golden Gardens again.  She mostly likes to dig holes and make 'mountains'.  David was able to mow the lawn again, it's like the right balance of rain and sun to make the grass grow like a jungle right now.  Last week, we were able to get the crib set up to the proper level with bedding so that's done.  I ran the coverings for our infant car seat and cradle through the wash yesterday so when they're dry David can put them back together and finalize the set up.  I still need to pack our stuff for the hospital.  I'm becoming more and more immobilized.  It's so hard for me to move around right now, thank goodness I have a desk job otherwise work wouldn't be happening.  Gravity remains my oppressor at the present.  My belly is so far forward that my ab muscles and ligaments are taxed to the max from my belly through my thighs.  It makes it painful to sleep on my hips because of it.  So I try sleeping propped up on the couch, but even that eventually gets to me and starts hurting my back.  I usually give up at some point and bust out the Tylenol and small intervals of my heat pad to get some relief.  But that means not much sleep.  I usually feel better after a hot shower but it only helps the sleep deprivation slightly.  I'm in a constant state of dropping off to sleep but I can't if my hips or back hurts, I'm too light a sleeper.  That's probably weird to see me do that, David asks me if I'm okay and Holly yells at me to wake up when it happens.
