This Is Where Mommy Gets Her Patience....

When you are so close to meeting your baby that you have grown so bonded with over the past 9 months, the last weeks are shear torture when it comes to.... waiting.

Not to mention, the fact that the timing of it all is left to the universe, and that is something you have no final say in. Nor do you have any control over.
Other than some gentle nudging that may or may not work.

I am comfortable, I am in no hurry, this is my last time experiencing this, I want the baby to grow as big and strong as possible, yet, I am ready to meet him.
I am ready to experience labor again.
I am ready to birth one of the most amazing people I will ever meet.

My second son!!

(oh, how I tear up just thinking about that last sentence.)

I had my 37 week prenatal appt. today, and all is dandy.
I have also been finally feeling some action happening in different areas of my body. My lower tummy has been tightening up more frequently and my cervix has been having 'zingers' quite often.
My belly has a bit more of a tear drop shape starting, so, I know the baby is starting to get lower... though, I have not "dropped".
My midwife can feel his head nice and engaged, though not completely.

At this point in my life, things like this make me very happy.
Bring it!

I've had a lot of energy lately. Nesting, probably so.
Though everything is mostly done, so, today, I took a nap.

I know those will be hard to come by some time in the next month.

I'm also trying to cherish these last weeks with my little man, who will soon be my big, little guy.
No longer the baby. :(
The big brother, he will be.... and I think he will be fantastic.

Tonight, I asked him if we should get the baby something, and he said a teddy bear.
So sweet... so, I, of course, agreed.


Here I am now....... not so bad.



until I turn to the side..... hahaa!!!


then all bets are off.
Family members have resorted to just laughing at me. :)

Today, I told my mom that I am measuring a few weeks ahead (size-fundal measurement).
How sweet of her, she then said, "so, you will probably have the baby early?"
no, probably not.... it doesn't translate that way. :)
