How much longer?


32 WEEKS!!!!! I am becoming so antsy about this baby. I can NOT stop thinking about his arrival. It has become all-consuming. I want so badly to enjoy this last month...and three weeks, but I am really finding it hard. I seriously am ready to not be pregnant anymore. And I know what you are thinking, "enjoy it while you can," "sleep while you can," and "you will miss being pregnant," and all of it is good advise...but it goes in one ear and out the other. I am, again, seriously ready for Jackson to be here. I find myself thinking of ways to help have a healthy, EARLY, delivery for this baby!!! I know this is impratical. I want him to be very healthy when he is born...but three weeks early wouldn't be that bad...would it??? I think another contributor for this anxiousness is that all powerful motherly instinct to want to nest. It has taken over me, but all I can do is dream about nesting and picture what I am moving and cleaning. Brian and I will hopefully move within this month. (Keep praying for us!!) I tell myself that once I have a place to set up a "home" I will feel a little less anxious about it all. I am excited about the upcoming events though. This is a really exciting time as I begin to grow and grow and grow!!! Jack will begin putting on a lot more weight as I come to the end of this pregnancy. He gains the majority of his weight during these last months! Hopefully all the weight will go to him so that I can manage to stay under a 40 pound weight gain. (The likely hood of this is slim) Brian and I also started our birthing classes. The class is once a week for TWO hours!! Can you believe it? Making pregnant women sit in a class for two hours during dinner hours is a sin! They do give us a break...but there are no deliveries for dinner!!!! Nonetheless, we are enjoying them!!! My 32nd week has just begun and hopefully it will prove to be very exciting!!!
