The Waiting Game

So I hit a milestone in my pregnancy this last week.  I have now spent the week more pregnant that I have ever been.  I didn't make it past 37 weeks with Lainey, so this is all a new experience!  I am feeling absolutely massive, and I can only imagine how much more I will grow this week. :)  I didn't get stretch marks with Lainey, but all of a sudden I have a few appearing here at the end...hoping those can disappear! 

My poor husband is about to lose his mind, too.  The other night we were talking about things, and he just stopped and said "I'm so confused!  What do you want?!?!"  To which I told him I had no idea what I wanted and that I was confused too!  I know I am done being pregnant, but I change my mind every day as to when I want this baby girl to actually get here!  There's pros and cons both ways.  One day I think I'm ready for our family of four, and then the next I think about all the things that still need to be done before she gets here!  Oh well!  What we know for sure is that she will definitely be here next Saturday, whether we are ready or not!

I found myself watching newborn Lainey videos today and tearing up.  It made me really excited and scared about how much our lives are going to change next week.  She was so tiny!  We can only sit and wait to see what Miss Lilly's stats are going to be.  My guess is long and fat, ha!  I'm putting my guess at her weight to be 9lbs. 4 oz, so we'll see.  One more week!!!!

DONE!

So I'm 36+ weeks, and I think I have officially reached that point where I'm done.  I'm pretty sure anyone who has been pregnant knows the feeling I'm talking about. 

1. I feel HUGE!

2. I do not feel cute in anything I put on.

3. I can't sleep.

4. I have trouble walking.

5. I'm just generally uncomfortable.

All of this to say I wouldn't have it any other way.  As much as I am not really enjoying life right now, I know there are people out there that would give anything to be in this position and I try to remember that on a daily basis!  I have less than three weeks left, and we're pretty sure this will be the last time I'm pregnant, so I'm just going to take the good with the uncomfortable and thank God for the amazing gift we're about to receive.  We can't wait to meet you, Lilly!

Lilly's Room

So seeing as our daughter will be here in less than a month, I figured it may be time to finish her nursery!  We've been working on it in bits and pieces, and I think it is finally done...or at least as done as it is going to be for awhile! 

You can't really see the back of the crib since we've got it full with hospital stuff right now. 

We now have a scheduled date of December 3rd at 8:00 a.m.  We'll see if she makes it that long.  At least I feel a little more ready this week than I did last week!
