37 weeks.

It has been SO nice to be on a break from school, despite my summer class reading which I am trying to be caught up though June 20th on so I do not have to worry about reading during wedding weekend for two of our best friends! Not having to drive downtown has been amazing and taken a big stressor out of my life! I also had a prenatal massage today which was AMAZING! I kept thinking the whole time "please never end!" My gallbladder pain has been radiating into my back and causing serious amounts of pain… I wish she would at least drop already to take some relief of my faulty gallbladder.

I also had a girls dinner planned with my neighbors and they surprised me with diapers and gifts for baby LC. I could have never dreamed of having such an amazing group of women as neighbors and friends, and I am so thankful for deciding two years ago to make the move and sell our first house and move to a new city! They are truly wonderful people!
