Last post until Baby...I hope!!

Time is quickly ticking by and in a few short days I will be a mommy.The questions I have now will be answered; like what it will be like to be in labor?What will he or (still possibly she)look like? When will my baby come? How big will he be? Will he be healthy or will their be complications? Will he have hair? All will be known in a few days.


As this pregnancy comes to an end I sit here reflecting on how this pregnancy went.How it started with a pregnancy test taken at a chinese resturant where I thought it didn't work and burried it in the garbage under paper towels until after my shakiness from hunger was gone and I went back and retreved it and saw that I was indeed pregnant!!I was so excited and couldn't wait for Stephen to come home from work so I could tell him.Then we had to tell our parents which we were nervious about since we still didn't have a home of our own and we thought they would be upset with our carelessness.Only to find them all so excited and supportive and saying they couldn't believe it took us that long!!LOL!! I never did get morning sickness although I didn't feel good when it came time to make dinner.I couldn't eat or even smell chicken for the first 3 months without feeling queezy.Tomato sauce wasn't something I could tolorate either, but that doesn't usualy agree with me anyways.Tiredness is something I have gotten use to.This baby really takes all the energy right out of me.I have had alot of water swelling in my legs and have stretch marks all over my legs.I never thought that would happen.I have had to wear uncomfortable stockings for the last 11 weeks.The first time that I felt him move was the most amazing feeling.The first time we saw him move on the outside was on March 3 while we were at LaMaze class.Neither Stephen or I paid much attention to the class after that.It was so amazing.Ultrasounds are the best.I could stare at my baby for hours if they would let me.I couldn't believe that that was really what was in me.How could anyone believe that we came from monkeys instead of from a Amazing God!!

So here I am now two days away from my due date. As of right now I have gained 31 pounds which I guess is pretty good.Baby is in position and getting stronger by the day.He is still really active.I am pretty much all ready.Bags have been packed and placed by the door.The carseat has been installed in our car.I washed all the baby clothes last week and have them folded and put away.I have the laundry all caught up on and have been working at keeping our house clean and organized so I wont be stressed when I come home.Thank You notes from my baby showers are almost done.I think I have about 12 to go.Not bad!!My aim is to get them done before the baby comes.I better keep working on that.Come on Baby,I think I'm ready!!
