We are over halfway to delivery day and I am nooot readyyyyyyy. So not ready. But I have absolutely no desire to get ready either. Maybe I'll get things sorted out...eventually.
These have been an eventful few weeks. I already have Braxton Hicks contractions. ALREADY. WAHHH. (Yes, I'm whining.) Considering I had WEEKS of prodromal labor with both kids, I am not looking forward to the same this time around. And the heart burn has started.
Pregnancy is just so beautiful.
Lest you think I always complain (I only mostly complain.), there are some sweet things going on too. The baby has been moving a lot. Just like his sister and brother, he is an active womb mate. He seems to be a night owl so far too. Emma and Henry have been loving on their brother so much already. It is one of the most special things to witness. Emma always talks about how our family has FIVE people now and Henry likes to lift my shirt and give kisses to my belly.
The sibling cuteness and the pregnancy hormones make me weepy.
I definitely feel "bigger" this pregnancy compared to the first two. I think my stomach is so far stretched at this point that it is ready to be a perma-basketball shape. I don't think I've gained anymore weight than previous pregnancies at this point. In fact, I know I haven't because I am pretty sure I have had no opportunity to gain excess weight because of my hectic schedule and not eating enough in general.
I'll try to work on that with a new box of cocoa pebbles. YUM.
We also set up our registry on Amazon. It's just a few things because we already have a ton o' baby crap.
