With everything that I've been experiencing these past couple of weeks, I finally came to the point where I said to myself as I scooted and tried to get out of a restaurant booth, "I'm going to be pregnant forever...". Up until that point, I had been set in the mindset that this was all going by too quickly. I am in no rush to push a living, breathing being of my own creation out of my special place, what I am eager to get over with is the anxiety I have towards that exact moment!
As the weight bears down more and more on me, slows me down, and wears me out, I am preparing myself for the big day. Today marks 36 weeks according to the doctor's estimation. Today is a milestone us, including Dr. Gladheart, because it means that I made it safely to the end of my pregnancy without risks, and without delivering prematurely! My doctor said I am growing a very healthy baby as she felt baby and made sure she was head down (yes, btw). While I am right on track with weight gain and such, baby still measures two weeks ahead of her time! Next week we will check baby's growth with a final ultrasound, that is if, of course, I don't go into labor by then (atsganée!).
Today, I actually became excited about meeting our little baby and became eager to know how much she'll look like the two of us. I've been dreaming of her, but I can never remember the precious details when I wake and eventually can only imagine my new niece, Dilyn! :) This tells me how much I miss that little girl. So now, we wait!
We are getting things ready in the meantime. We finally got the stroller set up, as will install our cool car seat in the car this weekend. We got a NEW car because it was impossible for us to get around in our trucks (now mine is for sale if you know of a buyer:). I washed clothes today. We are picking up some more goodies this weekend. We are going to put together more goodies this weekend. It's going to be an exciting time here in the Tumulak-Brown house :).
To celebrate today, I took the day off from my morning job to rest up to help myself get over this cold I'm battling (AGAIN). I'll be in bed by 9PM, and hope that I feel even better tomorrow. :)
This is all I have for now. I'm exhausted! But I have loads more to share and so little time with school and growing this baby :) I SHALL RETURN!
Baby is coming fast! (Hopefully in time for AFN;)
Cheers, folks!
