I can’t believe it’s October already. Where did September go??? Where did the summer go?? Part of me wants to feel frantic because I know it won’t be too long before the baby comes. But I also know that I’m pretty well prepared now. All baby stuff is a “go” except a couple of baby showers. What’s left now are things for the “big kids” and just family things in general I’d like to wrap up before the baby makes an arrival.
I was lying in bed this morning after Scott said “It’s October 1st” and I got to thinking – I only have a few weeks left of this pregnancy. It’s almost done. And I know I need to treasure these last few weeks. Forget being miserable, cranky, or complain-y (yes I know, I’ll still do some of that) – I need to really enjoy myself and feeling my baby inside.
I need to enjoy the last few weeks of my family being like it is because it’s about to change forever. Then there’s going to be a whole new being here with us. Because there is, actually, a real little person inside of me (!!!!!) Sometimes I can’t believe that I’ll have four children. What will this new little person be like? I want to try and treasure these last few weeks before we find that out, when I just know my little one by kicks and hiccups.
Some physical discomforts aside it really is an awesome thing to be pregnant. To know that I created a new little person with the man that I love, to know that little one is growing inside me. I love the feeling of my baby moving inside me (note to baby – I could deal with a little less foot-in-the-ribs-action).
I love just how amazing it is. Such an ordinary miracle, happens all the time. But so mind-blowing to me, no less. It is awesome to grow a new baby
