It's the Final Countdown

That's the song that keeps playing in my head...but only that part and very dramatically.  I am now 36 weeks and have roughly 4 weeks till my due date.  Like any other soon-to-be mother, I am feeling a range of emotions from excited to scared to overjoyed to thankful.  I may not be communicating that well with the outer world though.  Maybe it's all the attention...there's just too much pressure to be overly excited.  Maybe it's the uncomfortableness of my physical being...there's just too much pressure to be overly excited.  Probably it has more to do with the fact that I can't convey mulitple emotions at one time without my head exploding. 

The anticipation of the next month may do me in.  I'm not looking forward to this part of the waiting.  Knowing that after this week, she can come and we'll be "to term," doesn't ease that nervous excitement.  I'm very thankful for a healthy pregnancy with, so far, no complications, but now I'm waiting for her to make her move.  While I want to meet her, I'm terrified of bringing her home and what our lives will be like after that.  I know this is all normal and, thankfully, has not sent me into an emotional meltdown (yet).  Four weeks...
