The Babies Pedersen: Week 39

Bottomline.... we are just crazed! Its showtime, Elle (oh great, I'm already a stage mom)! Family and friends are looking at me like I'm a ticking time bomb :) I definitely understand why disability starts 4 weeks before your due date - this is pretty crazy. I decided to stop working on Monday (was planning on working up until she joined us!) and am so glad that I left when I did. We've been so blessed with a pleasant pregnancy... I had no idea what happens to your body this last month! I usually can't sleep at night but for some reason can sleep during the early until late morning so I'm keeping quite a strange schedule these days. Doug and I have everything ready to go - bags are packed and ready by the door. Our nights are filled with enjoying these last few days just the two of us... as its been for over 11 years now. We spend the weekends at the beach and bay. I love spending time in the waves as well as the calm bay. I think Elle will be a little water baby given all the time she's spent in the ocean this summer. Doug has been a saint. He deserves an award. He does everything around here and waits on me hand and foot - with a smile and a hug - as I grunt to merely get up off the bed. Thanks, Doug-o/Daddy.
Love, Erin & Elle
