36 weeks

I can't believe we're at 36 weeks...3 weeks to go and we get to meet our precious little girl!
My c-section has been scheduled for August 10th!
Everything is still looking good - my blood pressure has been great, and I've gained a total of 18lbs. so far!
Baby girl is still moving quite a bit and likes to get herself in odd positions and make my belly totally lopsided on the left. It looks so crazy - flat on the right side and a huge ball on the left side. Her heart rate was 160bpm.
I go back to the doctor every week now and it was so wierd she had me go ahead and make my last 3 appointments while I was there today.
I've been trying to rest more this week and not get too tired and worn out! I feel like we have most everything ready, not really sure what I should be doing. I do have some pictures to print out and put in her baby book. I guess I could start packing our bag for the hospital soon...
Also, we've been reading the "I'm a Big Sister" book more recently. Madilynn knows all about it and can basically read the book herself. She is so excited for this little baby to come out of my belly. She keeps telling me that my belly is getting so big, and asking, "Is it time to go to the hospital yet?"! Elizabeth is starting to figure things out! When they get that book out she says her version of "sister" and likes to see the baby on every page. She is very interested in baby's anywhere we see them. She says, "baby room" and has had fun checking out the baby gear and diapers. One day she got some of the newborn diapers out and hid them all around the room. I didn't even know she'd done it until she went and started finding them!
