Had my 33 week doctors' appointment this morning. Boy, where does the time go?! Our little guy is progressing really well, getting fat and happy! It's amazing to think that in a few short weeks we will be welcoming our 5th child! I may be crazy, but it is going to be quite the adventure.
Our kids are all very excited. We have just about everything we need to hit the ground running. After we set up the crib, a couple of weeks ago, Andrew was convinced it was time for him to be born. I told him we had to wait a couple of more months but he stated, "We have his bed for him to sleep, and diapers and clothes and bottles! That means its time!" Ahhh... I love kids. I wish it were that easy!
Madi on the other hand is quite worried about what I am about to go through. She loves watching "A Baby Story" on TLC and has seen what labor actually entails. For any of you that tune in, it can be quite a traumatizing rendition of labor and delivery! She is giving me quite a bit of sympathy for my upcoming experience and I try to calm her fears by saying "I have done this NUMEROUS times, I know what ready." She is comforted by that. Maybe if I keep telling myself that I will be comforted to. Although I have been through labor and delivery several times I still have some anxiety! It has been 5.5 years and I have a degree of amnesia when it comes to labor, I just always remember the sweet little angel in the end that makes it all worth it!
Alas, here is a picture of my pregnant belly! I know women do this, I never have before, but thought I would join the "norm." Heck...why not? This pregnancy has been nice in many respects, I have not gotten very big and have only gained 11 lbs. That said, I think he rearranges my lower spine weekly and I have some pretty heinous back pain. You win some...you lose some. It still beats the awful morning sickness I had with Madi and Andrew!
