38 weeks!!!

So we are now into our 38th week.  Seriously?!  This pregnancy has flown by.  I have been so very lucky that this has been a very easy pregnancy.  Sure there is the tiredness, stretch marks, sore hips and moodiness…but all of those things (minus the stretch marks) come and go.  I have minimal to no swelling and for the most part feel good.  Thank goodness!!!
It is really starting to set in that we will be bring a baby home soon.  Which brings up the questions of what will we do when the baby gets here?!  I have been doing so much reading on how to get baby out, I have barely scraped the surface on how to take care of the baby.  Hopefully that whole instinctual thing will kick in.  If I have learned anything from Teen Mom it is if a 16 year old can do it, so can I!Winking smile
I have become increasingly brave over the last 38 weeks.  I really want to have a natural birth, God willing.  So I have been reading, watching documentaries, exercising and meditating all in hopes to make this all happen the way I would like.  We shall see soon enough!!!
I have been having quite a few contractions but nothing that remains consistent.  I have made some progress but we are still 2 weeks off according to the doctor.  Although where we are is right where my dear friend was when her water broke!  So I guess you just never know!!!
So here I am in all my HUGE glory….Smile

Please ignore the chalk on my shirt, the belly band, my weird sorta closed eye in the picture on the right and also that the shirt that was WAY too big for most of my pregnancy is now too smallWinking smile
Getting excited to meet our little M, hope you are too!

Just get tired so very easily.  For sure overdid it this weekend, just trying to get so many things done before all of my time is devoted to our sweet little M.  Thank goodness Trent is so helpful!  We will get our to do list done…thanks to him!  I am a very lucky girl!
