Cleaning

So here it is the night before Thanksgiving and all I'm doing is cleaning and organizing. I think some of it has to do with the fact that I am finally nesting (hopefully this feeling will continue throughout my 5 day weekend) and part of it is because both of my grandmas are coming to see our house tomorrow. We moved in a little over a year ago and neither of them have been here. My parents are hosting dinner, but when we all leave my grandmas are coming over to see the place. I don't know why, but I feel like everything has to be perfect for them to come see it. This is really hard because our house has been far from perfectly clean since I have been pregnant because I just don't have the energy to do anything. I wish I would have decided before the night before to start cleaning.

Lily and I have made it to a really big milestone today. While Sunday is 37 weeks (which is considered full term) , today is the day that my doctor told me she wouldn't do anything to stop labor if it started on its own. It is an amazing feeling to know that I'm far enough along that my doctor would let Lily make an appearance if she decided to. There is no reason to think that she is going to come anytime soon, but it is a very big relief to have gotten to this point. When my doctor told me 36 weeks and a few days I didn't realize that would be before my birthday. I always thought we would have the chance of having her on my dad's birthday (the day before her due date), but never did I think there was the chance of having her on mine. I hope she decides to come on her own special day instead of sharing a birthday with someone else in the family.

The last few times that I have dreamed about her birth it has always happened on the same day. I am not going to say when that day is, but I do wonder if it is sign or if it is just something my subconscious wants. I'm not saying what day it is because I don't want people hounding me about whether she has come or not around that date.

Well, I think the break from cleaning is over. Hopefully I will stop at some point tonight and decide it is clean enough so I can get some sleep before a wonderful day with family and good food.
