36 weeks and a skinned knee

Here's my 36 week belly shot:
I had my 36 week OB visit yesterday and my Dr. said that everything is perfect and right on target! I'm thankful to have had such a healthy pregnancy and that I've made it to this point! Only a few more days until I'm considered full term. :) I'm definitely ready to have this baby - physically and emotionally anyway. We still haven't gotten our baby stuff out of storage, but it's on the to do list for this week. There's really not that much to get ready, so I'm not too worried about it. We bought our double stroller this past weekend, a second changing pad, and a diaper pail (both for our room, where Baby will be sleeping/nursing). I'll be glad when everything is set up, the newborn clothes are washed, and all the little details are in place. I suppose I should pack my hospital bag soon too!

I've noticed that I'm becoming more easily irritated lately, and I'm SO ready to have the baby and get rid of that. My patience is wearing thin, especially with Micah, and I'll be glad to be done with that too. It's strange to recognize issues like that during pregnancy, when I'm not usually that impatient or irritable otherwise. I know Steve will be glad to get his "normal" wife back too. :) My body is holding up pretty well, but I'm just really tired overall. Getting up 4 times a night to go to the bathroom doesn't help with that either. :) All this to say, I'm ready! Let's get this show on the road! I can't wait to meet this little guy!!

One note on Micah - he got his first skinned knee yesterday. I keep meaning to take a picture of it since his little knees will never be the same again. :) It's not a bad one at all, though. We were outside since the weather was really nice, and he was walking around our front walkway. He tripped and fell, scraping his knee a little bit (he had shorts on). He cried for a minute or so, but then went right on walking. He loves being outside! Here's a cute picture of him from last weekend (we were at Steve's parents') in one of his new summer outfits.

Hi Micah! Nana can't wait to come and take you for a walk! Andrea, hang in there... (guess I should say out there). See you soon
