38w2d Waiting...waiting...waiting...

We had our 38 week appointment yesterday, and everything seems to be fine (little Jack is head down, cervix is still long, blood pressure 102/62, etc.) Nothing is really happening. However, I have been feeling the signs of depression looming a bit. I asked the doctor about it and he said it is normal to have prenatal depression and offered to give me drugs which I refused at this time. I guess I am just overly emotional right now. Jerry, one of our cats is going through chemo therapy right now and he is not doing well and this is really affecting me emotionally...so perhaps that is it. I just cannot get over this anxious feeling that there is so much that I have to deal with right now.....it is overwhelming. On the bright side, we are getting very excited about little Jack's arrival. I FINALLY found a coming home outfit for him. It is a little blue knit outfit with little trains sewn in here and there, with little feet in the pants, a little collar around the neck and a little blue hat to match. Soooo cute. Paul should finally be finishing up the installation of the chair rail in the nursery so that will be done as well. He also still needs to install the car seats and I am in the process of packing for the hospital! We still need to buy our crib (we have one picked out) but have time to purchase that as Jack will be sleeping in a bassinet in our room for the first few months. Things are getting done....it just seems like there is so much left to do (at home and at work)...it is a little unsettling!  ~Thirty Seven Weeks~
