In her third blog forPEOPLE,Loch discusses her pregnancy journey as it comes to an end and reveals the first photos of her nursery.
When we first found out we wereexpecting, 40 weeks seemed like an eternity, but as my due date approaches — we’re literally days away — those three trimesters no longer seem like enough time to get prepared for everything.
I really never felt anxious throughout my pregnancy until I hit week 36. Once I hit that point, it felt like I was racing against time and every time I got something crossed off my to-do list I’d remember five more things I needed to do. These last two weeks especially have left me being not-so-pleasant to be around and I think a big part of that has been the realization that I’m officially losing control any day now.

I should clarify and mention that I’m beyond ready to not be pregnant anymore though. My back is killing me ALL DAY, I’m barely sleeping, I have to relieve my bladder constantly, and my feet and hands are swollen to the point where it hurts sometimes. To sum it up, pregnancy is a bitch at the end BUT you still have control.
And as much as I feel unprepared, and like I still have a million things to do, my friends who already have kids keep reminding me that I’m more than ready. Our hospital bags are packed, the bassinet is set up, the car seat is installed, and the nursery is done thanks to some amazing people at West Coast Kids.
Kevin’s mom keeps telling me to relax and take it easy these last few days so I’ll do my best and will try and spend as much time in the nursery soaking up the peace and quiet. It’s quickly become my favorite room in the house and I’ll share some pictures with you all because let’s be real … this is the cleanest it will ever be.
