I remember thinking that being this far along seemed so far away just a short time ago. This pregnancy really has flown by. That being said, I feel every week of my pregnancy today. The baby is lying head down on my left hip and won't budge and I'm in a ton of pain. I'm nauseous first thing in the morning and during every shower, and I'm exhausted. I'm whining but it's just how I feel today. I'm so close, but not close enough to say the end. I also have no desire for an early baby so I just have to get through 8 weeks. I know most days I'm pretty positive but sometimes everyone hits a wall....today is that day for me.
In other news, Dylan is doing great, eating well and making me proud. He is saying a lot of new words and is so good to me. He is seriously so sweet to me, it melts my heart and instantly made my day better when I picked him up. He is also very demanding of me though, he won't let dad help...mom has to do it all and be present at all times at home. I know its a stage and I both love and am exhausted by it. I told Jake not to worry they will be best buds in September when our new addition is here. (Did I mention I can LITERALLY feel the baby's head on my hip bone right this second OMG)
Overall I'm extremely excited about having a newborn soon. I don't pretend to be naive to the work involved with one and how those challenges will be amplified by having a toddler to care for, but I am just so blessed to experience this again. I absolutely loved the newborn stage and hope I can manage it so well the second time. On that note, a big congratulations to my friend Ashley on her precious baby boy Bennett. I met Ashley on the first day of high school in 1997 on the school bus and now she is a beautiful mommy. Ashley and David are going to be amazing parents! Thank you Ashley for letting me share in your journey thus far and I cannot wait to see you and Bennett grow as mother and son.
This post is so random....what else? Oh last weekend Jake and I made a big trip to Babies R' Us and I have most everything checked off my list so that's a relief. I am by no means ready but closer! Well I think that is all for tonight as I am tired and entirely unwitty this evening!
