Today I am officially 37 weeks pregnant and Full Term! So now this baby can come anytime and won't technically be early.
Natalie was born at 38weeks 5 days...so if this baby follows suit she'll be born March 24....but she could come earlier.
I'm feeling really well, still sleeping pretty well, having contractions off and on but nothing time able or really strong. I'm excited to have my appointment on Tuesday to see if I've made any progress from my 36 week appt where I was not dilated at all but was soft.
Even crazier than being full term, is that we really aren't prepared for this kids arrival at all. By this time with Natalie we had the car seat in the car, hospital bag packed, clothes washed and put away etc etc...we were just waiting for her to get here. But this time, the newborn clothes are in piles in the girls room, the car seat is in pieces after being washed, the bassinet isn't set up...nothing. I feel a bit guilty at my lack of preparation for this child...but I keep justifying it by saying I can get it all done before I go to the hospital and babies don't' need much...which may be true....but I still feel bad.
At any rate, I did finally buy some diapers so at least this kid won't just be peeing and pooping on herself...so I consider that an achievement.

A fun filled day in the ER
On Friday morning I come around the corner to see Natalie with my purse open and a bottle of Tylenol (adult 325 mg tablets) open and all the Tylenol all over the floor. She had opened a cabinet climbed up the shelves and pulled my purse down, and got the bottle open all within like 1 minute. Honestly I have NO idea how she got the bottle open since I can rarely open those bottles...but whatever.
So called poison control while Dan cleaned up the pills and they said that 6 or more could be fatal, I was pretty confident that she hadn't eaten any but since 18 were gone from the bottle and I had no idea how many I had taken in the months that I've had the bottle, to be safe we went to the ER. They did a blood draw, made her drink charcoal, and then another blood draw only to determine that she didn't eat any. So 5 hours of torture later we got to go home. Needless to say I felt like a shitty mom, and have found a new resting place for my purse. The cabinets that she got into are the towel cabinets so we don't have locks on them since she likes to get "blankets" (aka towels) out for her babies...but Dan was putting child locks on those cabinets today too.
