36 Weeks and Counting!!!

We had our 36 week visit this past Wednesday. The visit was pretty routine this visit. I am measuring 2 weeks ahead now, He has dropped a little lower into the pelvis, my Doctor said which is good at this point. They also gave me the good news that I am already 1centimeter dilated already, Yeah!!! She is saying that I will probably go between 37-38 weeks!  When she was listening to his heart rate this time, I was complaining about my belly button wanting to poke out now... She said that means the "Turkey is Done"!!! So hopefully this little turkey will be done before Thanksgiving ( I am supposed to work this thanksgiving too)! 
  He is now I think, " running out of room".  He is sticking his feet and arms up under my ribs, which really doesn't feel too pleasant at times. Sometimes I have to sit down and press on his little feet to dislodge them from my ribs! Ouch!!  I am still having contractions daily, nothing regular but some of them are actually getting a little on the painful side. I am not liking those too much.They are musch stronnger when I am at work.. Why is that???  I am definately tired at this point, but I can't say that I am  ready for this experience to be over with. Sounds kinda crazy coming from a 8 month pregnant person, but I can honestly say that I have had a wonderful pregnancy and have enjoyed it!  I have been blessed beyond measure! Now I might be changing my mind next week, but for now,  the discomforts, aches, stretch marks and all the other beauties of pregnancy have not made me "wish by" this wonderful experience of my life!
We Have chose a name, however Chris and I  have decided to keep it as a surprise for when he arrives. I have been asked so many times if it is hard to keep it a secret, and I don't really think its been that hard. Sooo many people want me to tell them the first letter, or some people say " Just tell me, I won't tell anyone." Ummm.... No!  I cant tell one person and keep it from everyone else. So no one knows but Chris and I. My mom has named him Baby George, Pat has named him Oliver, and one of my friends just named him Baby Harker! But he does really have a name and  not too much longer and everyone will Know!
 I go back to the doctor this week and will continue weekly visits until he arrives! I started packing my bags this week. I dont have much in them yet, which is worrying me, but everyone tells me I dont need to pack alot to have a baby! Well, anyone that knows me, knows that when I pack to go anywhere, I pack a little on the heavy side! I am always worried I might forget something, so I am reading the books and asking different people " What should I pack?" I am getting lots of different "must haves" from people. I WILL have a full bag by the time I go in! Now I am trying to get Chris to pull his bag out!
