9 More Days!!!

Time is flying by. Im 37 weeks and still going. Im huge, bloated, hurt all over, and cannot sleep at night. Despite it all Im still pregnant and forever greatful to be so. Last night while I was reading in bed, I had my hand on my belly, bracing myself for the very strong braxton hicks contractions I was having. and suddenly I felt this weird body part, and I realized I was feeling the bottom of his foot completly pressing out at me. It was magical, and wonderful to feel a body part and know what it was, its so fun!!!! it makes it all worth it. I have felt it several times today usually right when i think i just cannot be pregnant anymore, he pushes his foot out to remind me of the reward. Seeing my sweet baby boy that despite the many challenges over the last nine months, I managed to carry him full term. thank you Jesus!! and thank you to everyone who spent much time praying for me, Jacob, and our family. My doctor visit went good today, i think i have an infection again, 3rd one this pregnancy. Ill know by tommorow. Im not dialated but am softening more. I go back Friday for a non-stress test, and then on tuesday for my last doctor apointment!!!!!!!! Thursday the 26th he will be here!!! Its only nine days away and I cannot believe its here!!!! We are so thrilled!!

Life here has been busy, ive been really tired but still have nesting going on. Ive been running errands, trying to get "supplies" before next week. Taking Norman to get a bath and nails cut tommorow. Spending alot of time with Elaine, preparing her for the BIG change next week. We have been to the library to get books on bringing home the new baby. We have also spent alot of time outside playing together while the weather has been wonderful!!! She knows her "brother" Jacob is comming and she loves telling people she is going to be a "Big Sister" This weekend we will be doing alot of cleaning and washing so things are in order. And yes Josh knows about this, as he is going to be washing all the floors by hand. He has accepted this challenge:) I LOVE YOU JOSH!!!!
