38 weeks pregnant today and while my last pregnancy ended a day after my due date, I still start wondering if this baby could be coming any time now. It’s not because I’ve really had any signs of labor coming, other than lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, but I am starting to feel like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment.

I had my 38 week appointment yesterday at the birthing center and honestly, there’s really not much to report. I didn’t have her check for dilation because I guess I just didn’t want to know. My thought was if there had been any change in dilation and I knew about it, I might start thinking about going in to labor sooner and then get my hopes up, just like I did last time!

I’m starting to wear down a lot quicker than I normally do and my body is beginning to tell me it’s “done” with this pregnancy. Things are getting more painful but I’m trying to stay tough. While I’d like to say I’m getting lots of time to rest up in preparation for the baby, the two toddlers in my home don’t allow much of that. :)

However, I did get to have a fun night last week with some girlfriends. Some of my playgroup girlfriends had a little dinner shower for me last week and we all had so much fun! It was great to get out and have a relaxing dinner with some of my favorite mom friends!

We ate some yummy mexican food and topped it all off with these delicious cupcakes, made by my friend Heather.

The girls also spoiled me with some precious girl clothes and accessories. Just look at this precious bow!!

Walking out with baby girl’s new goodies!

My biggest concern when I found out we had a baby girl on the way was making sure we had enough clothes and things for her. Well, the Lord has provided for us and she has more than enough cute clothes and accessories. It really makes my heart smile to think about.

At this point, I’m wondering if she will be able to wear it all before she outgrows it.

It’s a good feeling.

Speaking of good feelings, the boys had their first slumber party together last weekend and they’ve been doing the same thing every night, since.

They are officially SHARING A ROOM! And, they are doing great!

They sleep well together and even nap well together. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother transition! {Thank goodness!!}

My mom came over to help me hang my recent project, the DIY baseball scoreboard, in their room and we got the room situated just perfectly!

There are still a few things left to do to be ready for baby girl to be here, but knowing I have the boys settled in together just perfectly is a huge sigh of relief!

In other fun news, Jen from JenWoodhouse.com is featuring my scoreboard on her Feature Friday post today. Check it out!! She has some other great projects featured, too!!

    Hi, connecting from SITS. When I read this I thought you were pregnant with your 2nd child but you were referring to the boys, so I decided to read about
    your family and I was blown away that it’s baby number 5, wow! You have a lovely family and I wish you all the best with your little girl, both of mine came a few days later than planned but hey they come when they are ready. So time to put your feet up and get some rest, as you know it’s going to be a little bit of a roller coaster for a while :) May I also add that you look stunning, good genes eh! Lookng forward to meeting your little girl.

    You are such a CHAMP with your pregnancy!  I can’t wait until my time comes, but I definitely understand that it’s hard work.  And the baby’s room is just too wonderful!  I love it.

    [...] For one, I still get some pretty rock hard sleep and only wake up once or twice to go to the bathroom but I have NO problem going right back to sleep.  It helps that both of the boys sleep through the night and are doing awesome in their newly shared bedroom! [...]
