I am feeling overwhelmed with the list of things that I want to have done before your arrival. What is left to be done really could be done after you arrive, but really the only thing I want on my to do list after you arrive is to snuggle you, to feed you, change you and love you. So I slowly will work away at the rest, hopefully things will get caught up and I will feel more relaxed and ready to do nothing but hang out with you once you arrive in our arms! This weekend is officially being called Tax weekend, it is where you and I will sit at the kitchen table and complete the tax forms(not a fun job but someone has to do it, my vote is that next year it is someone else). To entertain myself between taxes and give myself a brain break, we have some house cleaning to do and some garden prep work to do and we have to run to town to get some stuff for work, and I have some of your stuff I would like to get ready like your bottles, the breast pump and some soothers.
You are growing like crazy! I can feel the stretching and the extra weight -- once I heal from you coming out of me, you and I have some grand work out sessions ahead of us! I thought that you were maybe turning yesterday as you have been feet down for pretty much the whole time, that I can tell anyways. BUT based on where I can feel you kicking and where I can find your heart rate, I think you did turn, well maybe you turned a bit, you possibly may be a bit sideways now. I guess we will see what you do in the next couple weeks.
From the what to expect page, it says you are now 16 inches long, you must be squished, and I am guessing you will just become more squished even if we keep growing together. It also says that you are over 2 pounds now, it is crazy to think of how much you have grown in such a short time. Although that short time has felt like a long time.
Yesterday when your dad and I were talking about how far along you were with your growth, he said "only seven months, this is taking forever" I think he is anxious to meet you and hold you in his arms. You still haven't kicked for him you stinker, you will be moving or jabbing me, and as soon as he comes near you are as still as a statute. Last night I was laying on my side reading and my one arm was resting on the side of my stomach and it was almost like you were pushing me off, so I called him to let him try and he sat there pressing waiting to see if you would push back. Instead of you pushing him you start pushing on the side that was laying on the bed. I wonder what you are going to be like to him once you come out, are you going to torcher him, or is he going to be your calm safe place.
We are both so excited about your coming into our arms!!! Keep growing baby, keep getting stronger baby, and keep turning baby, so we have a very short hospital stay, we want to be in and out so that we can be cuddled up at home!
We love you to the moon and back and back again!!!!! I cant even tell you how much we love you already, you have stolen our hearts!
