36 Weeks (Yesterday)
Only 4 weeks to go!!
So many people have asked me lately if I am counting down the days. I always tell them that I am not ready to be done being pregnant. I have enjoyed (almost) every day of carrying this baby, and I think I am going to miss it. All the movements and kicks and just he amazing thought that there is a human being growing inside of me. Maybe I will change my mind in the next 4 weeks as the baby continues to grow and run out of space, but for now, I am still loving being pregnant. To me, the time has gone so fast, and I can't imagine what it will be like when this baby is no longer inside of me. I am sure I won't have time to think about it though, because I will then be consumed by caring for the little one!!
I am still feeling great and I am continuing to work 12 hours shifts at work. My last day is July 1st, so pray that I can make it as long as I can. I would like to be on maternity leave WITH my baby in my arms and not still growing inside of me. My doctor told me at my last appointment that as I get closer, she may just tell me that I can't work anymore. That doesn't make me happy. I haven't been having any true contractions, only Braxton Hicks since about 20 weeks.
You can pray:
-That I am here in Pella when labor starts (not in Iowa City where I work)
-That Aaron would be close by, as it is the middle of baseball season!
-That I would be able to work as close to delivery as possible
-That Baby Reasland would be healthy
That's it for baby updates!
