He looks so snug and comfy in his swaddle!!! Congratulations and welcome to the world Kent Patrick!! 
Glad you enjoyed your shower, though! Thats awesome!! Hope you're feeling better now!
But yes, it is nice to have a finite end date, which is what I am kinda looking forward to right now. However, that brings with it some other concerns, but I am not trying to get to ahead of myself here. As for working, if they are paying you to essential sit around and surf the net and you get more time on the back end of maternity leave, might as well take advanatage of it. I saw your other post as what to do with your time, and they all seem like pretty good ideas. I might have to do some of those as well. As for your feelings about not having the baby yet, I completely feel you. I feel like my body is not doing what it's supposed to do or more particularly, I am not being a good preggo b/c this baby is not coming. Or it could be all these freaking hormones making me all uber-emotional. Anyway, looks like your little man is making some good progress. That's great that his head is down there and ready to roll. I have heard the stripping of the membranes does help, so please let us know as soon as there is some serious movement. I am excited for you dear and will send you happy labor thoughts! Take care of you and I look forward to seeing you in the NB thread! As for the bouncing on the bladder, it only gets worse as they get lower, so perhaps invest in some pantyliners, just in case. Otherwise, it sounds like you are getting all prepped, so just sit back and enjoy your little bundle in your tummy a bit longer. 
However, I think I might have pushed a bit too hard, as yesterday I felt like CR*P. I did have another Dr. appt though, so was hoping to hear that my feeling yucky maybe meant Miss Sophia was making her way down, but alas, no such luck. So, doc said take it easy and just wait it out. Otherwise, I go in a week from tomorrow to assess my condition and possibly into the hospital that evening for cervical ripening, and then next Thursday for my induction. However, I would love to be surprised by this little girl and go naturally. Please send dust, if you don't mind. Well, I need to get back to work here, but I hope you all have a good week and keep baking those little ones!
now...im scared to accidently induce labor, so I am holding out until 37 weeks, but then im sure its on again! Haha!
Look at that faaaace!!!
I am so glad you didn't have to be induced and that you had a relatively easy labor. We can't wait to get more details on the little one and get some pics! Rest well mama. Otherwise, the family and friends have been calling all day to find out the latest (like I have been holding out or something) but no news yet. I just told my boss that I will NOT be working next week, so at least I will have a couple days to myself to relax and get some reading and movies in. On that note, I need to scoot off and put out a little fire that just popped up with some stuff at work, so take care ladies and I will be sure to check in soon.
Of course today, when my DH is going out of town for a sailing trip, i think i might have started spotting, and feeling tight all over. The spotting was so light that i was almost convinced that my pee must be turning pink because of all the strawberries i am eating, but unfortunately i don't think that is possible. I'll be putting in a call to my doctors as soon as they open back up. I am hoping it is nothing more than first time mommy scare, but we'll just have to wait and see!
