While I wait, somewhat impatiently at times, for our little one to join us in the air breathing world, I have to remind myself to savor these last few hours, days, week? Much to my dismay, this is my last pregnancy, but at the same time I'm so very grateful that we were blessed with this little one. God decided our family wasn't quite complete. For that I am most grateful! Overall, I enjoy being pregnant and this pregnancy, despite being the most difficult circumstances has actually been my healthiest one yet. Yes, there were definitely some tough points- 16 (minus the first 4 weeks) weeks of feeling like you want to throw up, being exhausted while keeping up with 2 tots. The second trimester was blissful and I was able to keep that feeling well into the third trimester. There are definitely some discomforts and days of being tired, but overall, I really can't complain, the baby and I are both healthy, I'll take the heart burn. I'm 39.5 weeks pregnant and still feel pretty darn good (at least until about 5:30-6 pm)! Having the gift of feeling a little one wiggle and grow inside of you is like nothing else. We are all so excited to meet this little one! Even Cooper cuddles up to my belly and says "out baby, come out!" (Though, I don't think he really realizes what's coming....)
A chorus of 'mama, mama, mama..." is ringing from upstairs. It sounds like my little ones are not going to nap today...maybe I can convince them to cuddle with me instead...not likely, but I'll try. Time to tickle and chase them while I can. It won't be long, and our little one will be here. We are so grateful and feel truly blessed!
