Anticipating...

I'm still here and definitely still have a baby waiting to be born. I slept in the recliner for most of the night last night, and Kurt told me it made him sad when he came in and saw me there this morning because I'm so uncomfortable. I think both of us are ready to move into the next chapter. Well, it's not a chapter, it's basically a new life! I just feel so incapable of anything right now, being this big. I sound like a huge complainer---I know that pregnancy is a blessing, and there are so many people who experience infertility. I never want to take it for granted that pregnancy came easily for us. [But] I am just ready to wear regular clothes again and cuddle my new baby.

I'm basically just doing last-minute things around the house...writing thank-yous, laundry, straightening. I wish I could say that a true "nesting instinct" has kicked in with a burst of energy, but that hasn't happened. I have the desire to finish things up around here but not the ability---frustrating!

No labor symptoms or anything...just a TON of movement from little Evy. Seriously, last night it was almost comical she was moving so much. Just rolling and stretching, pushing my body to its limits. I'm still in complete awe that it won't be long until she's here. I feel like its been such a journey, and I didn't even have a difficult or high-risk pregnancy. Thank you for all of your encouragement through this...I can't wait for YOU to meet her as well. Let's just hope it's soon!
