Week 27.

So here is my first lame attempt at writing about pregnancy.  A short and sweet attempt.

Things I have learned thus far:

-going to your prenatal doctors appointments may be the only time in life anyone is ever excited about "going to the doctor"

-I will never be prepared for the actual day the baby arrives.  This is a given fact when I haven't even contemplated his bedroom.  YIKES.  

-Life moves even faster during the craziest of times.  Ted and I are already almost 28 weeks in and entering the third trimester!

-I love to lounge in Teds clothes at home.  

-Maternity pants are my friend and almost as comfy as sweatpants.  I am contemplating never going back.  Ok, contemplation over.  I will go back to normal pants, but in all seriousness they are stellar.

-I will never allow myself to get large enough to have a gut.  Who knew how uncomfortable it really is.

-my center of gravity has now shifted and I find myself grunting unknowingly to get up.

-I am waiting for the powers that may to cast a spell on me the last twelve weeks and punish me for how easy the first 27 have been.

-I am also waiting for the time when I go from getting up to go to the bathroom not once, but multiple times in the same evening.  

-If you would have told me how much I love and cherish every time I am kicked I wouldn't have believed you.  Now bring on poking me in the ribs, and sticking your arms and legs into my skin!  

-I have reached a sense of serenity and calm that I have never experienced before.  Minor things which I would get worried or worked up in the past are now just that, in the past.

-I am not worried, scared, frightened, by anything that will present itself when the baby arrives. I know that he will be loved by more  people than he realizes and that is the most important thing.  He will have plenty of people to guide him along the way from his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins that he will be surrounded by love.  

-I am convinced that Ted will be the best dad ever.  After watching him around our nieces and nephews the past eight years, he will bring so much joy to our family I can't even begin to put into words. 

-I will be the disciplinarian in our family.  Ted will be the good guy.  I am alright with that.  

Alright, enough for now..more to come later! Back to laundry, cooking, cleaning cars, homework, shopping, walking, and whatever else I can fit into this short Sunday!
