Last Time

I am one of those weird people that for the most part enjoys being pregnant.  I don't get very sick, I am able to exercise and stay pretty active throughout, and I enjoy feeling the baby move inside of me.  If it were just about being pregnant, I could do it a few more times.  But for a few reasons I feel like 4 is the right number of kids for us (and Josh has always told me that he will support me in whatever I decide in that area since I'm the one having them/staying home with them) and so I have tried to enjoy this pregnancy knowing that it is more than likely our last one.  And we have tried to document it in pictures when we remember:)

24 weeks

27 weeks

32 weeks

39 weeks

I am 39 weeks today and not sure this baby is ready to come out yet.  My parents will get here on Monday so I am not anxious to go before then, but I have been trying a few things so that my body will be more ready when they do get here.  Like bowling last night!  And it turns out, I am a better bowler at 39 weeks pregnant than I am normally- though that's not all that hard to do!  Part of me is ready to get this baby out and part of me is not ready because I know when I do that phase of my life is over.  And one of my favorite things about late pregnancy is when people ask you when you are due and you casually say something like "tomorrow" and their eyes get big and act as if your water is going to break right there on the spot.  But, I also don't really want a 10 pound baby either, so we will see how things progress next week and talk more about a plan then.  Exciting times!

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I love this post. I love seeing your beautiful baby belly (you wear pregnancy SO WELL), and I love imagining you with four little ones. I can't wait to see the big announcement. Sending well wishes, hugs, and prayers your way.
