One Month Left!

Dear Sweet Pea,

Today marks one month until my due date! These days, 37 weeks along is considered full term, so that's in just 10 days. Its really so hard to believe that Dad and I will be meeting you so soon. For me, the fact that I have a little human being growing inside of me is still sort of foreign. I can feel you all the time of course, but I guess because I can't actually see you, it doesn't really seem real.

Tomorrow we'll be getting together with our friend/photographer, Stefanie, to get some maternity photos taken. Originally we were going to do it at the beginning of the month, but then had to reschedule a few times because of the weather (we plan to do it outside). Tomorrow is forecast to be sunny, so we want to take advantage of it before its too late!
This Thursday will be my last day of work! I was hoping to be able to make it until the end of the month, but I'm at the point where I'm very tired and sore after doing just one treatment, so its time for me to stop. I will apply for maternity and parental leave benefits on Monday, so that I will still have a bit of money coming in while I'm off work.
This weekend I'll be heading over to Victoria to spend the weekend with my parents. On Sunday my Mom is throwing me a baby shower, so that should be really fun.
Next weekend I'm registered for a continuing education course on infant massage. Its just one Saturday, so once that's completed, I won't have to worry about anymore continuing education courses until the end of 2012.
The following Friday (June 3rd) I'm heading to the spa with the gift card that Daddy gave me for Mother's Day. By then I'll be 38 weeks along so I can't wait for a little pampering. You are welcome to make your big arrival anytime after that! We really only have a few little things to do before you get here, including installing the car seat and setting up your bassinet in our bedroom. We love you already and can't wait to meet and cuddle you!
