31 weeks, 5 days

Without going into all the gory details, let's suffice it to say that it's starting to get to the point where it's not fun to be pregnant anymore. I have been blessed beyond measure that it hasn't been a hot summer (yet!), and I know I'm not as big as a horse up there or anything, but the past few weeks have been really trying. I have about 8 weeks to go to my due date... I am hoping for a slightly early delivery, but I'm not getting my hopes up. There is plenty more to do to prepare.

I told Josh last night that in a sense, I look forward to the "crisis" of delivering this child, because once that all comes to fruition, pretty much the rest of life STOPS for a few days, maybe a week, and we all hunker down and deal with life together. At the moment, I feel pulled in different directions with barely the energy to conquer day-to-day life! Ha ha!

I can't wait to get the baby's room set up, to wash the newborn clothes, to sit in the baby's empty room and just sigh a deep sigh of happy anticipation... until then, let's hope for good sleep and a well-behaved (though VERY cooped-up!) toddler. :)

the other thing I meant to tell you while I am on here is that you are chip's favorite person because you commented on the stone building. He was like, what is with everyone? He said he never checks my blog and I told him I know people read it, just don't comment on it. So know that you made him happy. :)
