35 weeks: Update

Today was a big day: we installed car seats and started packing a hospital bag!  The car seats were fine; the hospital bag freaked me out.  Although there are many things left on the to-do list, we would be ready if we have to be.  In addition to the car seats, we have a cradle and clean sheets and diapers and clean clothes and clean blankets.  He would not be neglected!

But I keep reminding him that he's not allowed to arrive yet.  Despite plenty of Braxton-Hicks contractions (pretty much every time I stand up), my midwife is letting me go two more weeks before my next appointment.  I'm trying to get my grading done, but pregnancy brain is making it challenging.  Everything I do right now, physical or mental, is very, very slooooowwwwww.
