Here it is! As of today, Tuesday, March 8 – I am 39 weeks pregnant and we’re on the final countdown. Currently, I’m trying to navigate around my belly to get to the laptop in my lap – so excuse the typos. Like many other women at this point in their pregnancy, I am anxious, excited and REAAADY!
For those of you that know me…you know I’m a planner. We’ve got the nursery done, hospital bags packed, car seat installed, pediatrician selected and baby care classes completed. All of that readiness means we’ll likely pass my due date.
As for any keen insights – they’ll have to wait until I can form better sentences and thoughts. Wordz iz hard.
I can share the most amazing thing that I’ve adjusted to… is the movement of life inside of me. At times it can be uncomfortable and many evenings I just stare as my belly contorts into different shapes and little limbs can be painful. Baby hiccups feel funny. Sleep in the last month is near impossible and I’ve grown a set of kankles. All that… and we can’t wait to meet the this new little person.
Yes, I know we’ll be up to our ears in diapers, pacifiers, bottles, crying and that life will never be the same again. For all of the plans and dreams that we’ve conjured up for our daughter – all we care about now is that she’s healthy, happy and knows that she’s loved and wanted.
So far… pregnancy has been quite the ride and experience and we’ve got one more stop to make before we jump on that parenthood train.
In the meantime, I can tell you I am looking forward to sleeping on my back again, seeing my feet, going for a run and in a few months – that first beer. 
Thank you to all of our family and friends for your support, advice, encouragement and excitement. In a week’s time our world will never be the same and we can hardly wait!
Now back to The Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie that’s randomly on HBO. “Ba da ba da ba da…That’s all folks!”
