He's almost here! Only 4 weeks left

So now I'm getting to the point of my pregnancy where I'm getting an appointment every week. You know the regular stuff like checking for dilating and stuff. Apparently my mid-wife says that I am 40% effaced, and starting to dilate, but not 1 centimeter yet.

The belly at 36 weeks

Belly button...a little funny looking now.

Not too many stretch marks...

In the meantime, my bestest friend in the whole world, in otherwords, my husband, has been so supportive through all of this. He has been helping me with the cleaning, cooking, laundry, you name it. He's been working full time at his job, plus working at the church, plus working a few days a week at the other Mcdonalds. He is truly amazing!
However, I am still working mostly full time at work, went from 40 hours a week to 30 hours a week which dosen't seem like much considering that I'm still on my feet all day. I didn't realize how tired I would be. With the backaches, swelling feet, and the belly in the way, it is definitely challenging. At least I still have a little bit of strength before bed, to have a decent conversation with the love of my life.
Pregnancy has been great and normal this whole time, no problems whatsoever. Hopefully labor and delivery will be the same way. I have decided to try and go with a natural birth at the Salem hospital, but since all women labor differently, I am not opposed to the idea of an epidural. I have some ideas to help me relax, and not concentrate on the pain, but I guess we'll see.
We have had so much love and support from friends and family, that I know that we'll always be taken care of.
