Well, we're here...at my due date. The baby still is not. This week I got the necessary paperwork that needed to be filled out before the baby comes (that I didn't know about) completed, which made me feel super stressed, followed by extremely relieved. Chris is done with school for Christmas Break...I still have Monday and Tuesday if I don't have this baby before then. My mom is coming in tonight after she celebrates Christmas with her sisters. I am very excited about that. :) My sister and her family is coming Sunday night, but won't get here until really late. The midwife wants me to get an ultrasound next week to make sure that everything is ok to let him/her stay in there until the 42 week mark. So my appointment for the ultrasound is Monday and I have another doctor's appointment on Thursday. Baby is sounding good and still moving like crazy, which is great. Maybe the baby is just waiting for everyone to be here. Who knows?
As for how I'm feeling...still pretty good. I was really sore earlier this week and my feet were KILLING me yesterday when I got home from work. Other than that, I have been feeling pretty good. I was complimented yesterday by some co-workers that I am the most even-keeled expecting person they've ever known. That made me happy. I don't want everyone to remember this as horrible. I want the pregnancy and this baby to be seen for the miracle that they are. I want all glory to be given to God for everything working so perfectly in order to bless us with this little one, as I am still in awe of how everything has to fit together in just the right way in order for pregnancy to even occur. My mind continues to go back to Rob Bell's book: "I can't believe I get to live this life." This is the motto of my life. I am so fortunate and so blessed and wouldn't want it any other way. Well, here we go. Into week 40 of the pregnancy. May this baby join us in God's perfect timing...and may I be ok with that, no matter when it is. :) Love to all, can't wait to share pictures and the experience of having a baby soon!
