Meijer, Family Help and Contractions

It feels so great to be doing some normal stuff again! Today I actually got my own groceries for the first time in a month and it felt wonderful. I never thought I would be so excited about a trip to Meijer. It was especially fun to spend some alone time out of the house with Charlie. When the baby comes we won't have many opportunities to be out and about with just the two of us and I will miss that time.

Mark's Mom left this morning after helping us out all last week. It was a blessing to have her here and it made the last week of restricted activity much easier for me. She did so much work and Charlie got a lot of Grandma attention which was so good for him. Thanks for all your help Mom!

I am still having contractions off and on all the time. This makes me think this baby could come any day, but I also know I could feel like this until I am 40+ weeks pregnant. Thinking about contracting like this for 3 or more weeks is exhausting. I am trying hard to do normal life, but I do feel like most things are "on hold" until she makes her appearance. I want her to be healthy so for that reason I hope she stays put for a little while longer, but I am very ready to meet this little girl when the time comes.
