Pregnancy Ramblings

I'm 38.5 weeks pregnant, almost dilated to a 3, and I'm really not uncomfortable, which makes me nervous.  Is my baby girl tiny?  Yes there is the awkward sitting position and the feeling I have to go to the bathroom every two seconds, but other than that I feel fairly normal.  With McKay I had constant rib and back pain.  Is my body just more adjusted for pregnancy?  Is she significantly smaller or just in a different position?  Or am I just busy with a 2 year old that I am not paying as close attention to every little thing going on with my body?  Yes I feel anxious for her to come.  I want to know she is healthy.  It kills me that I can't have an ultrasound at the end like I did with McKay in Miami.  However, I am more than happy if she wants to stay in there for a few more weeks.  If she is small, I want that little girl to bulk up a bit in there.   While I am anxious to hold my baby girl, part of me is sad the one on one time with my little boy is coming to an end.  I am trying to savor every minute.  It seems like he wants to cuddle more lately, as if he knows what is about to happen. Despite that he is 3 ft and 35 pounds, and I am 38 weeks pregnant, I still love to carry him up the stairs for nap time and cradle him like a little baby.  The things he says and does every day cracks me up.  I am anxious to see how he reacts to the new little addition to our family.  I know the transition will be an adjustment, but I hear it will force him to mature quickly.  Am I ready for that though and will I be capable of sharing my time and attention? 

My cute little BFF, hopefully we can incorporate another BFF!!
 I really am so so excited to hold my baby girl, and all of these worries are probably just my crazy pregnancy hormones.  Now the clock is ticking.   I don't want to get induced if possible, but I admit it would be lovely to know when my little baby girl will make her debut.  I cant wait to rock my precious little baby and see what kind of temperament she has.  In the meantime, guess I'll spend time with my little munchkin and make more baby bows!

I love this stud so much.  He works so hard and is under a lot of stress but does such a good job of hiding it.  Couldn't ask for a better husband and father of my children.
