It is very awesome to see 39 and 6 days on the baby ticker....... one day to go (supposedly:) I remember when it was only 8 weeks and 6 days, with 245 days left!!! What a journey. Those two little people on the ticker were so far to the left I never thought we would ever get to the right side! I also remember telling my sister on Christmas that we were pregers. It does seem like a long time ago, even though the memory is extra vivid:) I remember standing in front of the kitchen sink wanting to guzzle water just so I could get it in me, but not being able to because my stomach was too messed up! I remember 24 weeks pregnant took forever to come!!!
The first half, even 2/3rd defintely went slow. And then the last 3 weeks have been long. Overall, I think our pregnancy has been a slow one. People have even commented that I have been pregnant forever! I would have to agree!
Nate and I are waiting for that moment of perfection from God. We are ready! I have to admit, it has been very hard for me. I don't even know what it is going to be like to have a baby and hold a baby and know that it is our for the rest of our lives, but I want to go through it. I get anxious when I am alone. Time moves soooooooooo slowly. Our house is ready, stuff is ready, we are ready, so what do I do with my time?!?! Thinking back, I probably could have been more constructive. But I have been reading, cleaning, walking, swimming, resting. I could have started a scrap book or learned to knit, or something. Anyways, it has been difficult just waiting. Hopefully now that Nate has off the next 5 days, and I have off after working tonight (for the next 12 weeks:) we will get to enjoy being together. I miss him incredibly when he is at work and I am at home. I am very clingy right now!!
Nothing has happened as far as indicating that labor could be around the corner. No baby dropping. No nada. My hips are paining me......streeeeeeeeeeetching out:) Yoga helps/hurts. Hopefully it is doing something good for me. Nate and I have our 40 week appt on Friday. The midwifes will check me to see if I am dilated at all.. HA! Yea right. I will be closed thick and high. That's ok. I get to get a massage this week:)
Well, more later. Thanks again for reading!
