Im Marcie.

I am pregnant with my first child, a boy.

I am due February 8th 2008.

We are naming him Jack.

I cant wait.

Everything has gone so smoothly so far, no problems.

At 37w5d I am feeling great! I have only one complaint and that is my itchy belly. I cant believe I am already this far! I have so much to do still. I really should be working on Jack's room, or packing my bag for the hospital.

I have to say my fiance has been amazing through everything. I am so hormonal. I get really mean sometimes and I cant help it. Even as I am acting crazy I am thinking about what a jerk Im being but i dont stop. I hate that!

We have a little Maltese (Momo), he has been my little buddy through this. he is so funny. I really think he knows that I am preggers. He is always cuddling on my belly and sniffing it. Its so cute. He is very interested in everything baby. He is so precious.

I had a doctor appointment yesterday. Everything went smoothly. He checked to see if I was dialated or anything and I wasnt :(. I have been having small contractions, but nothing that has done anything. The doctor decided to do a NST test on me (non stress test). I have to admit that I liked it, and so did John. We were able to watch the heartbeat and my contractions. The doctor came in the room and said OMG OMG OMG its perfect, now that is a perfect NST!!! Now of course I didnt want anything wrong with my little one, but I do want him here faster!!! I am so uncomfortable, and just ready to have my Jack here!!! The doctor said hes good for another week. I was disappointed! So until next wednesday (my next appt), Jack will still be in his comfy home inside my tummy.

I still need to pack my bag, sterilize a ton of things, organize Jack's room, and we need to paint his dresser. That list goes on I just dont even want to think about all of the things to do!
