6 weeks and counting

Sorry again for not updating in a timely manner. It seems as though as the due date gets closer there is less time. And I'm sure that even after she's born there will be even less. Everything is still going well per the doctors. She's measuring right on track and there are no concerns thus far. I begin weekly visits to the dr starting next week until she arrives. I also plan on working up til I go into labor. Who knows how that will go since work is so demanding right now. I'm trying my best not to become too stressed.
Jonathan is working hard as well. He has been working on weekends due to all the military returning from overseas and others getting ready to deploy. He found out the day before we were to leave for Thanksgiving that he had to work instead. The holiday weekend was so different without him around.
We have the nursery almost prepared. We're waiting on the final painting touches during Christmas. I'll post pictures of the finished product. The car seats are halfway installed, clothes washed. Just a few things left on our list. We're definitely not ready as far as the house is concerned but ready to meet our baby girl.
Catherine is more and more uncomfortable as she doesn't have much room to wiggle anymore. Sleep is bad, breathing is hard, and it's hard to get up the stairs to this computer. But she's still kicking me as much as ever before, just a little more painful now.
Here's a picture of me today at 34 weeks. Sorry for the red nose. I've got a horrible cold right now.
