This is definitely the final stretch - only 6 more weeks to go! I am so grateful that I have had an easy and healthy pregnancy so far. And even more grateful that my doctor says our little girl looks healthy.
It's unbelievable how much I love this little girl and yet I've never even met her! I had forgotten how what an awesome connection I feel to my little babies while they are in my tummy. Apparently feeling her dig his feet into my rib cage repeatedly is a powerful bonding experience...
Speaking of documenting, I want to make sure to remember a few things because I don't have the most reliable memory. My pregnancy has been so easy. I had mild queasiness during my first trimester but was never actually sick the way a lot of girls experience. Second trimester was great and I repeatedly said I actually enjoy being pregnant. Now in my third trimester, the only unpleasantness I've encountered is never-ending heartburn {I am wondering if it's my own fault and related to the fact that I just crave sweet things constantly...} and being really tired {I'd be so happy if I could take multiple naps each day!}. I've had several friends who's pregnancies seem miserable but I feel lucky because mine is honestly fun.
I love feeling Baby Girl wiggle around. It's so crazy to glance down to see my whole stomach visibly shift with her movements. According to both the doctor and the ultrasound techs, she has settled herself pretty far down into my pelvic bone. And I can definitely feel that! It's a strange feeling but I think she's just excited to come be part of our little family.
Fortunately, I am tall enough and carry babies far enough into my mid-section to not look gigantic, but I still feel like I weigh close to 800 pounds! I'm so awkward trying to bend over and pick something up off the ground—and thanks to spending my day with a toddler, I get to attempt to pick up lots of things from the ground! So I'm pretty much awkward constantly.
It is so hard to get comfortable sitting on the couch or laying on my bed. Being pregnant is a fascinating experience. I'm so grateful that I get to have this experience... but I'm also really glad it's only for a few months and not a permanent thing!
Well, that's a lot of talk about babies. I love this kid and can't wait for the chance to meet her. As much as I'm excited to hold her in my arms, I think I'm more excited to see her meet her dad. I married the greatest guy and I am so excited to see how quickly his little girl will have him wrapped around her little finger!
