Less than 2 weeks left until my due date!
You know, I was thinking. This late in the pregnancy, the belly is kind of like a ticking bomb. At any moment I could start getting contractions. Or lose my mucous plug (sorry, TMI?). Or have my water break (unlikely, but hey, it could happen). At any moment, we could just go into labor and then things will change forever. I mean, they’ve already changed forever, but until P-squared is on the OUTSIDE of my belly, we’re still just a family of 3. Does that make sense? Maybe my pregnancy brain isn’t thinking clearly, but it makes sense to me… So anyway, we have a list of “To-Do” items before P-squared arrives and we’ve been steadily checking them off. I think we have most of the big things taken care of, but I’d love to see the list finished before the big event. I love the feeling of crossing items off a list! See?
38 week blog post. Done!
Sleep has been rough lately. I have to get up once every 1.5 hrs to go pee AND drink water. I can’t just not drink water to keep myself from having to get up, because I’m thirsty in the middle of the night! I guess this is good preparation for when P-squared will be nursing every few hours. At least I’m still getting to take a nap with Addy during the day. I only have a handful of days left to do that, so I’m definitely taking advantage of nap time! You know it’s a good nap when you wake up and your cheek is wet because you were drooling. 
Not very many people have voted on our gender poll on the sidebar of this ol’ blog so far, but I have heard many a guess from random strangers when we’re out. The overwhelming consensus? “You’re carrying so low, it must be a boy!” My (thought) response? Of course I’m carrying low, I’m all stretched out from carrying baby #1! One lady even told me “It’s going to be a boy, because I know that’s what you want since you have a daughter already.” Hmm, okay lady. Well I like having a girl, so I wouldn’t mind having another one too. The comments don’t really bother me, actually. It’s funny, I don’t seem to remember people commenting about my belly as much last time. But that may be because we lived in {gigantic and impresonal} Houston, and now we’re in a small town where strangers are more friendly/outgoing. Who knows…
And now, the real question: what gender does Addy think P-squared will be?
Oh, and here are some fun belly videos you might enjoy, finally taken last week at 37 weeks, 2 days pregnant!
P-squared does not like to be poked. Skip ahead to ~0:45sec to see the real action… we woke the monster!
Kickin’, just letting Momma know who’s the boss.
Adelyn is 2 years old, 2 weeks old and I am 38 weeks, 2 days pregnant.
