I'm not kidding. You'll love it.

Looking Forward

Time is flying by...just two weeks from Friday and we'll have another little boy. I can't believe it. This pregnancy has gone by quickly. Having Gavin to take care of is certainly the reason. My "to do" list has gone from super long to just the essentials. I don't have much time - so I've got to be choosy about what's really going to happen by then. If I stop taking naps, that might help buy me some time as well. But those naps are hard to give up!

I, of course, am grateful to be able to carry little babies - but am I allowed to say a few reasons why I'm ready to be done being pregnant? I hope so.

I am so looking forward to sleeping. On my stomach. I remember that first night so clearly the day I came home with Gavin. It is so close I can taste it.

I am excited to not have to attempt to pop or rub my back every 5 minutes. I just think I get it taken care of when - bam! - it feels like a knife is stuck in there. Knives in the back don't feel good.

I would really appreciate having control over my bladder. I have a hard time not being in control of this. Don't tell me I'm the only one...

I have a new eating/workout regiment that I'm all ready to start. I'm excited to have my body to myself and then do something productive with it. Not that growing a baby is not productive - I think there's actually quite a lot to it. But I just want to make it healthy and look better. Hopefully better than it's ever looked before. Go me.

But mostly, when I'm done being pregnant that means I've finally been able to feast my eyes on another little miracle. I'm SO curious to know what he'll look like and be like. How will he be the same or different from Gavin? I'm sure it will be hard not to compare. I know that I will love his little guts out. Can I love another little boy like I do the one I've already got? I'm pretty certain I can. And I'm so excited to meet him.
