Countdown!

I'm excited to say that I only have 4 more weeks to go...and yet I'm feeling that it is forever away. I've hit the point of being extremely uncomfortable, physically exhausted and just feeling massive. I'm not sleeping well and the contractions are really starting to hurt. It is so difficult to get around and I just feel blah most of the time. The baby has dropped, which is good for the stages of labor, but bad because I have a lot of pain when I walk. It is getting more difficult to play with Jarrett, which makes me sad. I really miss getting on the floor and playing with him. I still do, but I can't for long, and then it takes all effort just to get off the floor (so if you call and I don't answer, it's likely because I'm in a position that takes more than four rings to get there:)! Jarrett is so adorable with the baby. When I am sitting he ususally comes up and pats my belly and says "baby"... then proceeds to hug and kiss it:) He is going to make a great big brother. Sorry about the complaining earlier. I am thankful that I am blessed to have another child and to experience someone growing inside me. It really is such an incredible process. God has made mothers very special and this time and preparation in the womb is such a bonding time and the building of an amazing relationship. I fall more in love with this child with every kick and my excitement of meeting this little miracle is beyond words. This pregnancy has been very stretching (ha, no pun intended) for me and in ways has been more difficult and also at times easier than last time, but it is all well worth it. I will say it's amazing how much you forget the second you hold the baby in your arms. So hopefully this will be my last pregnancy update and the Lord will grant my many prayers of going early and the next update will be all about the baby.
