Counting It Down

38 +

We are at full term around here, so things could happen any day....or 3 weeks from now.  Who knows?  I think she is still having fun and pretty comfy just hanging out where she is, so I don't know if she is going to make an arrival anytime soon.  And being a first time mom means I have greater odds that she will hang out in my tummy for a wee bit longer.  

I finally got a picture of Dave and I together at 38 weeks.  He is pretty excited to become a dad, and I am pretty excited for him.

We didn't do any professional pictures during the pregnancy, but I did try to get at least a spur-of-the-moment snap shot every few weeks just so we could look back and remember this year.  I knew if I didn't get any pictures, I would regret it later.  Even though being pregnant is not glamorous when looking in the mirror, it really is a neat time to watch your body do something so amazing on its own without your intervention.  As the months have gone by, I have really chosen to embrace the changes and love this fleeting and special time.  I am excited for her to come, but it is hard to believe it is almost over as well, after almost a year of work. 

I am not too anxious yet.  I am feeling so much more relaxed now that I am on my last week of work.  I am looking forward to having a little extra time to rest and clean.  I am still walking.  I feel like I am walking fast, but I wore my garmin the other day and I am at 18-19 minute miles.  ha ha!!!  And, I am still doing prenatal yoga classes.  Maybe I will jump in the pool another time or two...  :)

Happy week to all!
