We will have a baby next month!

When I really think about it, it is totally crazy to think- I will have a baby next month. A baby. A real life baby. Again. 5 kids. Holy cow!!!! Some moments I can't get over it- it's like the 500 pounds hasn't registered in my brain and I'm just realizing I'm pregnant or something. And then other times it has been constantly on my mind as my swollen hands and feet and broken back wasn't a reminder enough. I'm so excited and so ready to have him out. He is finding a different place in my ribs and it really hurts. My hips ache now, it hurts to sit for too long and things are starting to stretch and pull in directions that should not be allowed. I feel my body parts changing, throbbing and weird pains accuring but remind myself I have 5 weeks & 5 days to go. I remind myself that almost 8 pound babies are better than 2 pound ones, so be grateful to be able to carry them to full term. Besides the wobbling, contant peeing and pressure, awful weight gain, swelling in every body part possible, lack of sleep, horrible siatic pain, heart burn, headaches, clothes not fitting anymore, a baby who has taken up residence in my ribs, difficulty bending over, and weird people rubbing my belly- it's been great! Honestly, I'm grateful. So grateful, but I really want him out...

Oh my, how I remember feeling this way about this time last year. Caelan is a July baby. I can't even believe how fast this last year has gone! I can relate to how you feel about pregnancy. It is the most miserable and beautiful experience you'll ever go thru at exactly the same time! I am so excited for you to welcome your newest little guy. How fun. I already miss Caelan being so tiny and sweet. He is growing crazy fast, crawling everywhere and getting into everything! Man.. Don't blink!
