10 More Weeks!

Wow.  I remember when we had just found out we were pregnant.  This pregnancy has gone really fast this time around.  I really wish it would slow down so I can appreciate every second of it as it will be my last.  But at the same time, my comfort level is diminishing along with my sleep.  It’s definitely more difficult this time around.

I’ve really bonded with Sweetpea these last few weeks.  I love to feel and watch him move even when he jabs me hard and it hurts.  To know there is a little person in there fascinates me.  What a true miracle and blessing I have been given.  I feel such a connection with him and I can’t wait to see his little face.  I have envisioned what he might look like. If he will have hair.  What his eye color will look like.  My excitement level for the big day is growing. 

I have started to think of what the big day will be like and when it will be.  What does God have in store for me for this delivery?  Liam’s delivery was not what I had anticipated and for that I know to go in with an open mind.  Do I have my ideal labor and delivery?  Of course I do.  But who knows if that will be reality.  I would love to go into labor on my own a few days before my due date.  I would like my body to do what it should do to birth my little boy.  I hate the thought of another C-section.  I do know at the end of the day, I just want Sweetpea to get here safely, no matter how he decides to come out.

I had my 30 week appointment today is everything is going perfectly.  I passed my glucose test, my blood and urine was good and this time around I’m actually measuring right on track instead of 3 weeks ahead with Liam.  And she said my weight gain was good too.  It feels wonderful to be at this spot.  I feel so grateful to be having a healthy pregnancy.  I just need to keep what I’m doing for 10 more weeks until my little boy is ready to arrive!
