36 weeks

Wow! Less than 4 weeks left till the new baby comes. It wouldn't surprise me if she decided to come sooner than that. I feel (and look) huge. My belly is as big as it was with Sarah at full term. I'm starting to get stretchmarks, which I never got with Sarah. I haven't gained more weight than the first time, so the only reason why my skin can't handle the stretching must be the size of the baby. She should be around 6lbs at this point, but I have a feeling she's closer to 7lbs.
I'm on holidays this week. I've been busy trying to organize everything and get ready for the big day. I'll be back to work next week, but only for 2 weeks and then I'm done for a year. A lot of people have asked me if Sarah is excited about becoming a big sister, but she's still too young to understand. She'll be 15 months old the day after tomorrow. For now, all she knows is that Mommy has a big belly and that she gets picked up less and less. I don't know how she'll react when we introduce the new baby to her, she's never had to share Mommy with anyone.
We got her a couple of dolls, so when I'm busy feeding or changing the baby, she can do the same with her dolly. She's at the stage where she likes to copy people, so hopefully the doll idea works. The only thing that worries me is sleeping. Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night crying and I'm afraid that will wake up the baby too. And it will be the same the other way around as well. I guess Peter will have to give me a hand at that point. He'll be home for 2 weeks to help me when the baby comes.
