I'm feeling a little bittersweet about the end of the pregnancy quickly approaching. I'm definitely excited to meet this little one, and I'm very excited to find out if it is a boy or girl. I'm also starting to get more uncomfortable, and I will be glad to be done with some of those issues. BUT, I also really do enjoy this part of pregnancy. The anticipation of the baby's arrival is so fun to me. I also love feeling this little one move and kick. I often ask Eric if he is jealous that I get to experience that...he never is : ) He says that it is just fine for him to feel it from the outside. Also, this will probably be our last, so it is kind of weird to think that I won't be pregnant again. While many of my friends welcome that idea, it makes me want to enjoy this one even more!
I'm reminded often these days by others that my belly is getting big...thanks, like I hadn't noticed! (Ellie told me today that I'm the "hugest" in our family!) The checker at Home Depot thinks I'm having a boy due to the way I'm carrying while a random woman at the gym informed me that it is definitely a girl for the same reason...hmmm. (Love all the random comments that are received when big and pregnant!)
Well, let's check it out...
15 Weeks
20 Weeks
25 Weeks
30 Weeks
One more thing...I'm entering the time of pregnancy where I've experienced preterm labor issues with both the girls. While neither were born prematurely (Molly at 38 weeks and Ellie was induced, after weeks of partial bedrest (go figure), at almost 40 weeks), I did have to go through those few weeks of partial bedrest with both. It is not fun, and I don't even see how it would work while trying to take care of the girls! So far, so good. Please pray that all continues to go well and that I don't experience early labor symptoms. Thanks!

cute cute CUTE!!!
Isabel and I are praying that you're final stretch will go off with on complications. BTW, love the "you're the hugest in the family" comment. Kinda hard to wiggle your way out of that one.
I'll pray that you don't have to be on any bedrest. Pregnancy is one of those 'good to be uneventful' things!
