First off, let me say HALLELUJAH for (almost) 2 weeks off of work to wear sweats/pjs and slippers 24/7!! I've never been so excited to do NOTHING in my life!
We are etching our way to being SO close to meeting Miss Millie... although, I was eating lunch with Tinka and Brook (my MIL & SIL) yesterday and there was guy talking about his wife being 42 weeks pregnant... WHAAAAAT... ah that was discouraging haha!
I am so anxious to her! I can wait to see whose eyes, and hair, and nose, and mouth she has..... What her smile looks like, to stare in amazement at her tiny feet (that my favorite part of a baby body) and hands.... I can't wait to see Ben hold her (and probably weep over her) and for our families to meet her. I can't wait to rock her and feed her.... to bring her home and be her MOMMY... I'M GOING TO BE A MOM!!! I think I still forget that this is about to happen and that I'm PREGNANT.
BUT I am quickly reminded when I have days like I did during the 30 week period of time. What a ROUGH week it was... but we made it through. I'll just say anything you read that says "may happen to some expecting moms, but not all" HAS happened to me... *knock on wood*.
My mom keeps saying "it's all just part of it", which I know is very true and none of it will cross my mind once Millie is here, but mom, it is kind of hard to listen to that from someone who had very normal/smooth pregnancies :).... and I don't mean mine has been HARD... but a little more unpleasant/uncomfortable at times than others :0
Praise Jesus that Millie is healthy & growing!! When Dawn scanned me last, she was about 3.5 pounds. It is amazing to look at the pictures from our first ultrasound to the most recent one-- such a miracle of life!
I am excited to get to spend Christmas at my grandparents' this year & with my family! I love watching the boys on Christmas morning open their gifts....and this year, Pete AND Brody will get to be excited since Brody is old enough to get into things! I am NOT looking forward to the drive there but I'm just making sure I wear especially comfortable clothes and take lots of pillows---it is really hard for me to sit up right for long periods of time--- big boobs + big belly + acid reflux/heart burn makes for one pissy mommy..ha!
After we do Christmas morning with my family we get to come back home and have Christmas celebration with the Willards!!! It's going to be such a fun holiday with our niece and nephews... can't wait for Millie to join in on the action! ;)
