Home Stretch

I'm 36 weeks, 9 months pregnant or week until 'lil Weinberg is considered full term.  I think like everything in life there are days when you feel it's gone by quick, and there there are days you look back and think, no it definitely feels like it's been a long time.  We had our prenatal classes this weekend and Mitch installed the car seat in his car.  We are now as ready as we can be for the baby's arrival.  Well, I still need to finish packing for the hospital.  It's crazy to think we'll be parents in four short weeks...so exciting!!      

What I'm thankful in the third trimester:
1. still having my energy- even though I'm bigger, it is not as tiring.  I still take 2-3 mile walks about 3 times a week with ease.
2. Not having heartburn...shockingly I haven't had that joy.  Having a short torso, I thought I would.
3. Having a good check up with the OB
4. Baby kicks, although feeling more like kicks and less like "bubbles" still are enjoyable to me
5. Still getting decent night sleeps and not minding sleeping on my left side

What I can do without:
1. The burning sensation I fee to the right of my sternum when I'm sitting (feels like a 3rd degree burn or rug burn) that I still for the life of me can't figure what it is. I've had it for 3 weeks already
2. Sometimes I feel like my ribs are moving when I walk or do sudden movements (again in the same spot where I feel the burning (not the baby kicking my ribs)
3. The mid back pain- massages helped that
