waiting...

Hi baby girl! Today is Friday, March 7th, 2014.  I am 38.5 weeks pregnant! Your daddy and I are so excited to meet you! We have gone through the "to-do" list, we have prepared your nursery, we have stocked our freezer, and now there is nothing left to do but wait for you to make your arrival.  Your daddy wants you to come right now- he is ready to take 4 weeks off of work and enjoy time at home with his precious family! I want you to come next Thursday (March 13, 2014)...not really sure why! This pregnancy has been really easy for me- I didn't get sick, I didn't get too big or gain too much weight, so I'm not too uncomfortable, have hardly had any water retention or swelling, I am even sleeping really well still! So, I feel lucky and like you are going to be a calm, easy baby *knock on wood*, but we just have to wait and see! I can't wait to see how you look- what color your eyes will be, will you be bald or have a head full of hair, how big you will be, what your little cry will sound like! Thinking about meeting you for the first time- especially the first time you look at me- makes me want to cry tears of joy (of course, I am super hormonal so everything makes me cry...) I have not really had many braxton hicks, but have been getting some cramping the past two days.  Warning- TMI- I have been so constipated the past few months and all of a sudden about 4 days ago you dropped and I have been pooping lots and lots, meaning that my body is making room for you to go through the birth canal, so I know it will be happening soon! I am nervous for labor, but we are so well prepared and your daddy is going to be such a great supporter! My blood pressure has been a little high, so we are hoping that we will not be told they want to induce labor... we will just have to wait wait wait wait wait and see! I know that I will learn a lot of patience through my experience as a mother and this is only the very first lesson you are going to teach me! I cannot wait to meet you baby girl! I love you so much already and I have not even gotten to hold you yet- I can't imagine how much love I will feel for you once you are here! I thank God for you every time I pray- we are so thankful that God has blessed us with you!

Love you forever and always <3
