Yesterday my coworker asked me if waiting for this baby to come feels like waiting for Christmas. I honestly had to say no because to me it feels more like anticipating a basketball game! I remember experiencing that countless times as I grew up with Jr. Jazz and especially before a school game. It's an exciting feeling to be sure, but those butterflies make me feel more anxious and nervous than anything else.
I can't believe it, but I'm due in 3 weeks from today! Time has flown by. Everyone who heard that I was due in mid-August told me that it would be the longest summer of my life-- that it would be awful and hot and painfully slow. I must say that it hasn't been that way at all. It has gone very quickly and really hasn't been too hard. I have air conditioning at home, in my car and at work. I feel very spoiled to live in such luxury, especially compared to what others have gone through. I know that every woman's pregnancy is different, but thankfully, mine has been fine. Yes, I'm uncomfortable and not sleeping super well at night, but it's still bearable. I also think this summer (and year) has flown by because it's our first baby, so we feel like there is so much to prepare for and we don't want to rush anything. Maybe future pregnancies will be harder to get through at the end, but for now I'm just so grateful to be pregnant and to soon be the mother of a beautiful baby girl!!!
Here is the latest picture of me at 36 weeks (about a week ago), next to our cute crib (KSL special) in our recently painted baby room!
