36 Weeks!!!

At week 36 I am becoming extremely anxious and somewhat cranky. Poor Paul is dealing with the mood swings and the constant whining very well. I am feeling huge and uncomfortable. My ankles are swelling, my face feels 3-times rounder, and my stomach is getting heavier and heavier. We are ready for Addison to get here. The nursery is done and the carseat is in the car. I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday and I find myself hoping that they will tell me I have one hour to go home and get my bags because she is ready. While researching the internet to find out how I should be feeling...I found this quote and it brought me "back to earth". I am thankful for this miracle that is growing inside of me...


Whether this is your first pregnancy or last, take a few moments to savor the feeling of your baby moving about your belly. There simply is nothing quite like it, and in the grand scheme of things pregnancy is just nine short months of the long journey of life. Your newborn baby will eventually grow into a teenager and then an adult. Before you know it you will look back on these days of bloating, weight gain and fatigue with awe and longing!
