Well, we are 3 days away from our estimated due date. The past couple days have been filled with excitement, exhaustion, anticipation, fear, optimism, skepticism, and pretty much any other emotion you can throw at me.
I usually wake up each morning fairly crabby from lack of (decent) sleep the night before. As I'm getting ready for work, I look at my big belly and am reminded why I am going through all of this. Then I smile, say good morning to our baby girl, and start my day. Don't get me wrong, throughout the course of the day it is very easy to forget all the great moments I've had throughout the pregnancy and the exciting time we will have with our new baby girl. I mean, seriously, I am almost 40 weeks pregnant, as wide as a truck, and I fight like a turtle stuck on their back trying to get up from any sitting/laying position. I'm pretty dang ready to get this over with. But there are those moments that I really appreciate the bond I've been able to create with our baby girl.
Tomorrow morning we have our final doctor's appointment and I am really looking forward to it. Here's hoping!
I've been checking your blog waiting for updates. Can't wait for your little one to arrive!
