...I hope I can make it! This pregnancy has been so much different than the others. I'll spare you the details {and the visual} of what my midwife told me...and just tell you that each pregnancy, the body stretches, making each pregnancy a little different!
Seriously, though, I feel like I could have this baby any day. I still have SEVEN weeks left. Goodness. I may just spend the next 7 weeks laying on the couch!
Not only is the pregnancy different, but I don't remember the other three moving around so much. I swear this babe never stops moving. Well, I take that back. There are times, brief times, when I don't feel her moving, so I shake my belly. And then I quickly regret it. If it isn't kicking and moving, it's the hiccups. It's a constant thing!
I have been told that I look small. I do not feel small. I almost get mad when people tell me this. Do they think I always just look like I have a basketball under my shirt? I'm HUGE! ;-) And I know I'll just get bigger. Just wait. I'm actually measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule. So, we'll see where that leads us. I was measuring small with Macie, and the day after I was told she would be 5 pounds {because I was induced 2 weeks early}, she was 8 pounds 1 ounce...and never lost a pound until she was about 1 1/2!
I am getting very excited about this baby though. I've made her bows and flowers, embellished onesies, made a couple blankets, sewn a blessing dress {or two} and gotten all of the pink out of boxes. It's different having a girl again! There are so many more accessories and things. It's fun! Now if I could just decide on a car seat, we'll be set! And I guess a name. ;-)
I am also very excited that I will only have one in diapers. Jacob still does have accidents, but I think it's a given with potty training. There will be accidents. I'll take the accidents over having to buy diapers all of the time, though! I can always wash sheets and clothes, it's not like I don't do at least 2 loads of laundry a day already!
So, 7 weeks. I can do it.
