Well I cannot believe how fast time is going by!!! Only nine more weeks and our baby girl will be here! According to the average numbers, she weighs about 3.3 pounds and is 16 inches long. Needless to say I am feeling the stretch! I am still feeling amazingly great! I get a little more tired if I am on my feet for a long period of time and sometimes it is hard to get comfortable when I am trying to fall asleep due to her constant kicking. I love feeling her move all the time. It is a constant reminder that she is active and healthy. I am not a huge over eater, but I have noticed that I get fuller faster. Lets just face it, there is not enough room in there for everything like there used to be! Like her father (hehe), she is being a little stubborn and not turning like she should so we are praying she flips in the next upcoming weeks.
On another note...I could have titled this post "From the crazy mind of a pregnant woman!!!" My mind is constantly racing with ideas, thoughts, worries, and anticipation...and don't even get me started on the dreams I have at night! Most of the time I wake up and shake my head in disbelief...not sharing them with Jason, afraid he may think I have totally lost my mind! HA!
As delivery gets closer, my latest thoughts have been how amazing God is that he can create a human being in such a short amount of time, and with every kick I am reminded that she is getting bigger and bigger and she must come out! I have literally pondered how such an amazing and beautiful journey has to end with such gruesome and painful event (For her, Jason and mostly ME)...oh ya...that lovely lady named EVE!!! When my mind goes to this place I am reminded that God is watching over all of us and millions women have done this before me, and some of them much younger and wimpier than me! Ha! Thankfully I have done my best to stay in shape and the Doc says that will help a lot...and of course some pain meds :) I am not trying to be Super Woman in that delivery room! There are no Gold Medals waiting for me if I choose to go med free...so I am not opposed!
I have also been NESTING, NESTING, NESTING!!! I have organized almost every room in our house and I will be done with the babies room very soon! So stay tuned!!!
Jason has really been such a trooper through everything and prays for the baby constantly. He such a good provider, helper, listener to my constant ramblings, and tells me how beautiful I am...even though I feel like a blimp and wonder if I will ever look like me again! I was doing one of my ramblings the other night, telling him I am worried about him feeling overwhelmed and lack of sleep and how this adjustment is going to be hard on him, and he simply looked at me and said...all guys with kids go through it...I will be fine. Even though he has never changed a diaper, I am so blessed to have such a level headed husband who is realistic about things to come!
A couple months ago I told him I wanted him to pick out her going home outfit. He went to Carter all by himself and picked out something he loved...and I think it is totally adorable! I can only imagine how overwhelmed he was walking around that place! I love it! Notice it is NOT pink! haha! (I do have cute headband I got to go with it too)
My parents got the baby a onsie, socks, and a teddy bear! If you can't tell, Jason LOVED them!
This week I also turned 34! Yikes!!! Getting older is not fun, but I feel like life is just about to start in a new way for me! Jason and all our Rochester crew threw me a surprise birthday cookout and celebration and I had a blast. Jason spoiled me as well, with jewelry and Bath and Body goodies!
I am looking forward to this upcoming year....I am sure that it will go faster than this one!!!
