It's almost baby time!

We're nearing the end. 31 weeks pregnant! HOLY COW! A part of me feels like we just found out. The other part of me feels like I just may be pregnant for the rest of my life. That being said, our Jman was here at 35 weeks. So we COULD potentially have a baby within the next four weeks. (insert my freaked the eff out face here) I'm kind of hoping she decides to stay in until we are full term. The stress and worry of having a preemie is just not something I'd like to go and do again. Plus, my husband has informed me that we're done after this. Trying to come to terms that this will be my last pregnancy. It's bittersweet. Let's keep our fingers and toes crossed, pray, or just send us some good vibes for a nice, healthy, full term baby.

Going into this a second time gives me a sense of readiness that wasn't here before. I am NOT saying that I'm READY. Ha, you can never be ready. What I am saying is that I know to expect the unexpected. This little baby is the boss for at least the first nine months or so....if not longer. That's okay. My boobs will no longer belong to me, sleeping and showers will both become a luxury, and at points absolutely insanity will feel like home. Before I know it, my life will be full of spit up, colic, sleep training, soothing, nursing, and those sweet newborn snuggles. That's what I'm most looking forward to. Snuggling with a kid who is unable to protest. She will have no choice!! I'm ready and willing to face all the unexpected challenges that lie ahead.

The most important thing I will remember going into it this time, is to really soak it in. People use to tell me with my son that I should. They told me that the time would go by so fast. Looking at my teeny, tiny, precious little baby, I thought to myself, "yeah, no way...this moment will last forever".   No, it doesn't. These moments go by faster than anything else. You only have a baby for a short amount of time, and that time is SO precious.
