Getting ready

So, I'm officially 'giving in' -- my body is finally feeling the effects of a 40 pound weight gain and carrying it around for 9+ months. I will be 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow and this weekend was the beginning of the end.

Saturday, I thought might be the 'day' -- I was cramping and not feeling well all day, but by the end of the day I was fine. Today was better, but just exhausted! I sleep about 5 hours at night and then I toss and turn....my body is getting ready for those initial sleepless nights.

I've been having more baby dreams, but they all revolve around breast-feeding. I must be feeling stressed about that?

I suspect I have a week at the most left of this pregnancy...not sure if I'm ready for another baby, but I'm definitely ready to get my 'old' body back. Even though I know my body will never be the same, it changes drastically after having a baby, but I'm ready to see my feet again :)

I'll keep this blog up to date as much as possible and will post as soon as I can after the little one arrives....

Can't wait to meet him/her. Before you know it you'll be in the same boat as me wondering how your baby can be almost 1.

So exciting! It's strange to be so late in a pregnancy, knowing how much life will change. Good luck!
