For some reason, saying there are only 6 weeks to go seems frightening. Now when people ask, "When are you due?" and I say December 10 the response is "Oh, wow! That's soon!" Hey, thanks. Didn't occur to me.
I went to the doctor last Thursday and will go again next Thursday, starting my weekly appointments. That's when it gets really real - checking for progress, taking measurements, etc. It's one thing to listen to a heartbeat and get your belly measured - It's a whole different story when the doctor starts to take measurements to determine how soon you might go into labor. It wont be long before we have to pack a bag, get the pack n play set up, and put the car seat base in. Fortunately, we have our plan set for who will watch Deviney when we go to the hospital. That's a whole added concern we didn't have the first time!
I read that this week fatigue may begin to set back in. There's no question about that! Most days now, I try to nap when Deviney does. Sometimes it's just 1/2 hour... sometimes it's 2. It certainly makes it hard to get things done around the house. That whole "nesting" thing isn't quite going to work out with baby #2. I have a sneaking suspicion he/she will survive :)
