Day 22

Alrighty, this is getting a little insane. Agh! I need to find more to do with my time. No baby updates yet, however, it does feel I'm walking around with a grapefruit between my legs. How very exciting. =P I just wish I could hold Nattaya in my hearts and close to my heart. I've carried her in my womb for so long, but I ache to just be able to finally touch her and whisper into her ear how much I love her. Highlight of today: Bought diapers - it made me feel more like a Mommy. =D Oh, and by the way, I PASSED my first comprehensive exam for my Masters Degree. I took the second text this pass Saturday, but no news yet. I have the last and third on this coming Saturday. It would be cool if Nattaya decided to come Saturday night. It would just be a very nice end of a crazy week. Chances are - she won't. Who knows though... She's going to come when God tells her she's ready and its time. In the mean time, I'll just continue to enjoy her elbow jabs, which I actually call her way of waving at us.

The Countdown Continues

Alrighty. I'm 36 weeks and 5 days today. I had my doctor's appointment today - nothing exciting really. I'm measuring 37 cm and weigh 130 pounds (the most I'll probably ever weigh in my life). Had the routine Group B Strep testing done. Then checked for baby's heartbeat (strong as a horse) and came home. I think these last 23 days are going to drive me crazy. I already have cabin (apartment) fever and this has only been my second day off work. La la la... Today I actually slept in though, per hubby's orders. I got up around 9:40, took a shower, ate tortilla chips, and watched my soap. It was a very exciting day. =P THEN, I got to go to my exciting BTSA training on Reading and Writing in the Content Areas - not too bad. Tomorrow I'm getting groceries and carving a pumpkin. =D

The Countdown

So, I've got 25 days 'till Natty's due date - Turkey Day. It's been a pretty insane journey. I have to say - I never pictured things would be like this. It has been a very blessed experience. Everyday my husband and I are reminded are blessed we are by this roughly 5 pound miracle that continues to daily put on weight in my womb. I think the most spectacular miracle has been knowing that God has and is continuing to piece her together inside. It is just so amazing that He already knows that she looks like. I cannot wait to see her for the first time. I am just so anxious to look into her eyes and keep her close to my heart.
