38 weeks....

I really haven't documented much about this pregnancy, I've been busy with my two little snug bugs, and soon I'll have another snug bug but still only two hands... not sure how I'm going to handle that but I will!
To anyone else the next 9 days will fly by, but for me each day will be it's own small victory! For some reason the last month or so has been hard on me, I hurt a lot more than I did with the girls. My back, hips, strange muscles I didn't know I had are bothering me. I'm big, I can't sleep very well, the heartburn is a constant annoyance. On top of that I have to settle screaming matches and prepare and clean up after meals, bathe, potty train,and all the million things moms do. OK enough complaining!

I just can't wait to get my reward for this 9 month journey, I can't wait to hear that precious cry, to know that he's here SAFE, for those eyes to connect with mine, the sweet smell of his little head, those quiet moments that I get a little taste of heaven, and our family will be that much more complete.

You did describe it so well! It's still fresh in my mind. I'm so excited for you guys. Isn't it such a huge relief to hear that first cry? It's closure for 9 months of concern and thoughts and prayers and excitement. I can't wait to see him!
