Just a little bit longer! And BOY am I feeling PREGNANT. For the last several days, I've just felt.... PREGNANT. Turns out, it's because my baby has dropped. And I am such a novice, I didn't realize it til seasoned mamas told me so. Ha! But it makes total sense---before, where I was able to walk around a TON without feeling too tired or BIG, suddenly I can barely walk down one aisle at the grocery store without feeling all this PRESSURE. So tiring!
So. I have my 38-week appt. tomorrow, and we'll see how things are progressing. *shrug*
I just keep thinking--- this will likely be TOTALLY different than my Noah experience... And I really have NO idea what is coming. Will my water break? It did with Noah. Will I go early? I did with Noah. Or will I go over my due date and have to induce? Will I wake in the middle of the night with real contractions? I've not experienced that before. With Noah, I had mild sporadic ones, but they didn't solidify into REAL, countable contractions until they pushed Pitocin on me as a remedy for speeding things up. This time, I WANT to wait for the REAL, natural contractions. I WANT to time them. Wait. See.
But who knows? I have NO clue what is coming.
That's kinda fun. I'm not gonna lie.
And even feeling SUPER pregnant, I am still loving it. I am that woman-- the one who loves being pregnant. So I'm in no rush to end it. All is well.
I love the background you chose for your 38 week pic. Very fun! Our baby came a month early so I never got past 36 weeks, but I should have followed the signs. I had dropped and couldnt walk either. lol. I felt very prego and your right each baby birth is different. It was so different this time around. But in a very good way. :) Good luck! Can't wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteOh, Em'! I'm so very excited for you! I love love love all the belly pics and hearing that after such a rough start, you are loving the experience til the end! Good luck! I cannot wait to see her! Love & Positivity to your family!!!
ReplyDeleteEmily I'm so excited for you and your family!! :) I was also one of those women who LOVED being pregnant as well :) Can't wait to see your precious little girl!
ReplyDeleteYou're SO close to meeting your little girl! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it exciting? I would advise (because you are pregnant and therefore a target of advice), just let it happen and don't think TOO much about what it was like with Noah. It will be different.
