We're down to going to the doctor every 2 weeks now and after this appointment, we switch to going every week! Crazy--I feel like he's going to be here before we know it! At this next appointment Landon's taking a long lunch and coming with me, so our doctor is going to do a little sonogram for us, which I'm really excited about for some reason. I think I'm just getting antsy to meet him and the sonogram is the next best thing. I just want to see him again and see how he's hanging out in my stomach, getting ready to make his debut. :)
This week, I've started to really feel pregnant. I still don't have any real complaints or pain, but I'm just starting to feel huge. Things like getting up from sitting on the couch or the floor or bending down to tie my shoe are just getting a little harder. I feel more out of breath, sometimes just from talking or reading a story out loud to my students. And when I stand/walk for a long time (hello, week long TAKS testing!), my feet and back start to ache a little. Things like that. But, overall life is still good. And even though there are times when I want to complain a little (even just to myself) about the discomfort that can come from being pregnant and having this little baby moving and kicking inside of me, making me feel like I can't breathe or that I have to go to the bathroom every 30 seconds, I think about the fact that it's our son I have the privilege of carrying and how much of a blessing it is that God gave us this little baby and that he is healthy and growing--and it's only for a short season that I'll be pregnant, so I need to enjoy it, discomforts and all. :)
