Is it really real?

I know to most that you would think having 5 kids already that pregnancy is kind of......routine. For me it never really is. Maybe because there is a 7 year age difference between this baby and DD. I know I am pregnant and we will be having a baby but, it hasn't seemed really real until today.  This weekend we put the car seat in the car in order for all of us just to start getting used to how we do things. We also put the stroller in the car. 

Today, I told my boss that I wont be working saturdays anymore starting in June. She told me months ago that I can bring the baby to work but I think that is very unprofessional to have a crying baby at work while trying to give someone information about the studio. I decided to not work saturdays in June so I can "prepare" for the baby. That made it such a reality for me. HOLY CRAP!! We are going to have a baby in 7 weeks or less. Is this really happening? Where the heck have I been for 34 weeks?

    This is my first but it is starting to hit me too.  I have been saying all along how we have plenty of time whenever someone says the baby will be here "soon".

    My midwife and I haven't discussed much in the way of a birth plan but she told me today that on my next visit (in 2 weeks) I'll be getting an internal exam and we'll discuss my labor preferences.  That made it pretty real and makes the birth seem "soon" to me too.  After I got into my car I hyperventilated about it for a minute before I calmed down.

    When I went to bed tonight (I was asleep at some point) I rolled over and had some intense pain and it felt exactly like what I think a contraction would feel like (muscle pain, around my uterus, extending down my back) and lasted for about 45 seconds. I waited to see if I would have another one but I didn't.  At that moment though it completely struck me that if I were going into labor I would likely be coming home with a baby in a few days!! Holy crap!!!

    I guess I should really stop procrastinating on things (e.g., cradle is still at my Mom's house).
