Baby thoughts

Every day my emotions seem to be in a different place. Lately I've been feeling very anxious about having this baby, especially since everybody keeps commenting on not having it yet. I can't tell you why there was a change today, but something is different. Today I'm not anxious at all -- I'm excited. It's not the kind of excitement where thoughts of the baby are occupying my mind all the time. My mind has been on all kinds of things today, without much effort on my part. Anytime I think about the baby, it's only pleasant thoughts of excitement. Hopefully I can keep this mindset for a while now.

I'm considering myself very lucky. I have heard a lot of women talk about how miserable they were for the last few weeks of pregnancy. For the most part, I'm not miserable at all. Every once in a while the baby's movements will cause me some pain, but it's only for a short period of time. My back isn't aching all day. I do have swollen hands and feet, but that doesn't bother me since they're not painful. I was definitely more miserable when I was pregnant with Chloe!

Chloe and I have really enjoyed our time together today, which makes me feel better about having a baby soon. When we went to the hospital on Saturday I was feeling guilty because Chloe and I hadn't had much quality time together. We made it out to the store this morning and walked to the park again after lunch. Now she's napping and I'm feeling the need for one too. Hope you're all having a great day too!

Glad to hear your emotions are more pleasant for you these days. Maybe that means that you have just decided it is all in God's hands and you are letting it go.

Amy Hufford is in labor today. Maybe at least one of you will have a baby on my birthday :0) i will still keep shooting for both of you! That still gives you eight hours :0) I would wish a short labor on you :0)
