36 weeks and nearing the end (hopefully)

who doesn't enjoy a 3 day weekend?  the past couple of weeks i have been fortunate enough to be able to take off fridays and have a 3 day weekend.  which of course is incredibly nice.  this friday rey decided to take off with me, we had an enjoyable day of starbucks, weekly doctor appointment, and perusing the mall. we ended the day at bonefish grill where i could honestly eat the bang bang shrimp everyday.  seriously, best ever. the rest of the weekend rey spent some time at the shooting range while  i spent it with my family shopping, and getting some last minute things for the baby.  which doesn't consist of much since i have been prepared in that department for the past 3 months or so. :) even though i know i am materially prepared for the baby i can't help but start to feel anxious and overwhelmed as the day gets closer.  i worry that i won't be a good parent or know exactly what to do.  everyone tells me i will learn with practice or it will come naturally.  i can't help but think what if it doesn't come naturally? what if i really don't know what i'm doing? i also worry about the whole birthing part, i've had people tell me it was the worst experience of their life and others say it wasn't so bad.  i guess the whole unknowing is what makes it scary. just how bad is this going to hurt?! i'm sure that i'm not the first person in the world to have these worries and concerns. all of those questions and then some will be answered in give or take 4 weeks. so for now all i can do is sit back, relax, enjoy some sweet! cupcakes rey got for me and get ready for the next chapter of my life.  which i'm sure will be an enjoyable yet bumpy one. :)
