35 weeks!

I am 35 weeks pregnant and only have 35 days to go (technically at least)!! I am still measuring at the 36 week mark, and have an earlier due date, but we haven't changed the way we count the weeks I am pregnant. I am making progress on Alexander's nursery and have been washing all of his cute clothes in anticipation of his arrival. I have the diaper bag packed with his coming home outfit for the hospital. I need to buy a larger bag for my hospital items and pack it and then I am ready to go! I started to paint the letters for Alexander's name to put in his nursery. I still have some work to do on them though.
