I'm not planning on having the baby anytime soon, I just know I probably won't take the time to blog again. I still have lots of organizing and cleaning to do so I've got to prioritize my time! It's amazing to me how the belly can stretch out in the last trimester of pregnancy. I'm glad I actually documented it this time so I could see how amazing the whole process is. I'm feeling about how I think I should for being 35 weeks: Uncomfortable, tired, anxious, nervous, swollen, hot, heavy, irritated. Wanna know why I feel all of these things? I'm not getting much sleep these days between bathroom breaks, my sciatic nerve is driving me crazy, I've put on over 40 lbs. so that means my joints are hurting, I don't fit into my maternity clothes anymore, and the sweating is out of control because the humidity this summer has made being outside almost unbearable (my ring finger is up 3 full sizes). Despite the negative side of being about 9 months pregnant, there's lots of positives. Keith's really hit with the reality that a baby is coming, I can pull the pregnancy card whenever I want, people don't even remotely judge me for taking seconds they actually encourage it, I can fully blame my cranky mood on my hormones, and I am having dreams about this baby all of the time because I'm so excited to meet her. As frustrating as it can be to have the baby kick various organs inside of me and keep me up with her movement, I love feeling her and knowing it will be just a short time before I can snuggle her in my arms. I realize how lucky I am to have this opportunity to be pregnant again and know that every minute of these past nine months will be worth the sacrifice to bring one of God's children into our home.
