These days I am HUGE, although she is a smaller than Isaiah was at this point, was I am starting to feel really slow and walk like a penguin. Going up the stairs leaves me winded and squatting for any reason is just out of the question. Sleep has once again become elusive, because my mind is even more pregnant (with thought) than my body! So waking up to a well rested toddler who's been out for 12+ hours when I've had less than 6 has been lots of fun. Still, I relish these last weeks with our only child. Our quiet times together will soon be over, and our lives will change so much. I can't wait to meet Baby Girl, but I hate to say goodbye to our status quo at the same time. It's really weird to feel this way, as you have absolutely no sense of this with your first child.

The worst part of this pregnancy so far was this past week. Isaiah and I both got sick, he got a cold, and I came down with Strep throat, of all things! It was a miserable week, but hopefully we'll get back to "normal" or whatever that is these days!

Our days being out and about are numbered and I still have so many things I wanted to do before I became house bound! We will be spending the next weeks madly prepping for a newborn! I think we are slowly and sadly coming to the realization that we are not going to complete our to do list before she is here. But who's ever really ready anyway? I'm still waiting for that burst of energy nesting phase to happen. Otherwise, my mojo is completely depleted and all I want to do is put my feet up and eat something.

I am so looking forward to falling for a newborn all over again, and watching my husband hold our daughter in his hands. Isaiah is completely void of all his former babyness, and I miss that pure innocence that babies bring. We wonder what she will look like, if she will look just like Isaiah did... how her personality will be... so many things to discover about this new little miracle. We still have not chosen a name for her, but I'm sure we'll figure it out before we leave the hospital! Otherwise, we'll be calling her Baby Sister like Isaiah wants!
