34 weeks + 5 days = restless pregnant woman

I was pretty emotional when John left for work this morning. I hate waking up right as he's leaving so I just have to say goodbye really quick. My pregnancy hormones are making me feel very fragile lately. I can break down at any minute :)
soooo, I ate a giant m&m cookie with a glass of milk for breakfast, and my mood is turning around! :) the cookie was actually John's and I was eyeing it ALL night, every time I got up to go to the bathroom. 6 times! I ALMOST ate the cookie at 3 in the morning but I just couldn't do that to my poor husband. He loves cookies! But then this morning as he was leaving for work, he gave me the cookie... oh I have the best husband in the world!

my plan for today is just to relax and watch movies, and just enjoy being pregnant. I told John that i'm either having this baby soon (like 2 weeks) or I'm not going to be able to move for 5 weeks. I swear, there is no way baby Eli can get any bigger, or he's gonna rip my belly open with his kicks.
I can't wait to go into labor! I'm so excited. We're planning a completely natural birth, laboring mostly at home with our friends and my parents plan to come as soon as my labor starts. It's going to be an awesome, super empowering experience. I am so looking forward to the first time I see him and hold him. What an amazing moment that will be.

Our apartment is all clean and organized! There's nothing left to do but wait for Eli to come.
If you have any suggestions for ways to keep myself busy (that don't require a lot of energy... or moving) please let me know! I'm gonna be going crazy these next few weeks.
