I woke up this morning with an overwhelming feeling of needing to be through with this pregnancy. After taking a walk in the somewhat brisk morning air, I decided, after talking with God that I can make it 6.5 more weeks. I have these feelings every once in a while. By no means am I uncomfortable or in pain, I am just anxious to meet Calem. I know that I need to take advantage of these next few weeks!

Been having Braxton Hicks contractions alot lately especially on the days that I take brisk walks. I love to tell Rob that I am having a contraction to freak him out. Do you think he will be able to labor with me at home until my contractions become regular? I have a feeling that the minute I tell him I am in real labor, he is going to rush me to the hospital. Oh mom, I hope you are here to calm his nerves!

Calem's room is coming together. I can't wait to hang some of the new items up on the wall and post a picture. We are doing a woodlands/hunting theme. We have tons of little bears, moose, deer and hunting woodland trinket things. I guess I am getting more into the whole decorating thing than I thought I would. Well, 4 more weeks of work left. I have one week off for spring break next week. I think I am going to use that week to pamper myself. I have scheduled a hair appointment, pedicure (I hope I don't get a staph infection....that stuff has been all over the news. I may bring some clorox wipes and wipe the spa before I dip my toes in.) and I think I am going to get a massage!
