And the waiting game begins!

For me this pregnancy has gone by so fast!  I can't even believe we are just weeks away from having another sweet baby come into our lives.  With everything that is going on with our family right now, time just seems to be flying by.  Staying busy with school, Dr.'s appointments, having Gma living with us (it's been a week now) and all of her appointments, and trying to keep up with 4 little ones and their messes seems to have really taken it's toll on me, especially in the past few days!  I am beginning to FEEL PREGNANT!  I just feel exhausted!  And feeling this way only makes me want to slow down in everything I do... which in turn means time will go by slower.  With all of my pregnancies before, I remember being so anxious the whole time I was pregnant, having convinced myself that the baby would be early... which makes for a horribly long pregnancy when you end up being close to your due date.  With Ev and Fletcher I did have them a little earlier than anticipated by the Dr., but with Parker & Joss it was a matter of days before their due dates.  This time I feel like I have been patient, not worrying about when she will come and just being content with being pregnant.  Now that I am actually getting quite uncomfortable and tired, I think the waiting anxiously part will begin!  


I had my 33 week appointment with my Dr. this morning and everything looks good and seems to be right on schedule.  7 weeks to go!  7... That sounds like such a long time!  Hopefully I can just get lost in the busy weeks I have ahead of me, and not go CRAZY in anticipation of the arrival of our new little bundle of joy!

Okay, so I know I don't already have 4 other kids but I hear ya! Let this baby come out... okay not quite yet but I am getting so uncomfortable and ready. I am at week 30 right now! I can't believe it. I'm like you. It seems to have flown by, but now that it's down to the last 10 weeks I feel BLAH! I think I'm having twins. :)

I can't believe you've only got 7 weeks left to go!!
So exciting!
Is your mom still going to be staying with you when you have the baby, or will someone else start helping out in taking care of her?!?
Let me know if you need help with anything!
We need to hang out too! Raegan is missing her buddies!
