Countdown to the end!!

So I haven't blogged in a little while...I have had 2 doctor appointments since the last time. I got tested for the Strep B bacteria that all pregnant women have to test for now days...I got the results yesterday and I don't have it, which is awesome. I guess a lot of women have it, but it is not something you can prevent. I am just glad when I go into labor, I won't have to be on antibiotics. At yesterdays appointment, my stomach was measuring at 38 weeks pregnant and I was 36 weeks 5 days pregnant. Her heart beat was good and my blood pressure was good. I even lost 1 pound, which I was kind of excited about!! I have been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions and sharp stabbing pains in my groin area. The doctor told me that if I was to go into labor now they would not stop it ;)  She has been moving quite a bit, but still has her sleepy days which are a little scary. At next weeks appointment, they are going to check to see if I have dilated at all. I am starting to get incredibly nervous to go into labor. I am waking up at night and thinking about the whole process, which really grosses me out, but mainly scares me. I haven't washed a thing for the baby but have just picked out her outfits to go home in. We are just going to keep it pretty simple with some cute pink onsies and and bow. I guess I should start getting my bag ready just in case too. We have scheduled a tour of the hospital for tomorrow morning. Our doctor recommended to do that just so we know where to go when the time comes.
I also have quit working. This was my first week off and it was a little weird. I have been trying to keep the house somewhat clean, taking naps, and relaxing. I did attempt to go to 2 stores a couple of days ago, and I was flat exhausted. I think it was the heat but I am also starting to not get around as well. Countdown is on!!!
