I have reached my one month mark. I am so excited. I am 46 inches round now and have gained 41 pounds. It is getting close to time and I am going to try and stay home and keep my house in order so that life is as easy as possible for my family after the baby is born. This is my goal. My husbands goal however is to paint the kids rooms and reorganize Derek's room. I think that this is a great idea. I love getting things put together and organized. I, however, had plans to keep house and rest. He is doing the majority of the work so I am going to take advantage and let him do it. I think their rooms will turn out great.
This weekend I did my major grocery shopping and boy do I feel the time coming near. I am slower than a turtle walking through these stores. I have to double the time I used to be able to shop in. It is amazing how your body just stops going even though your mind is saying lets do more. I am not having that horrible pain I had for the first seven months, which I am very thankful for, but I am totally exhausted. I am having the normal end of pregnancy woes [constant backache, pressure, wanting to sleep all the time, and big rear syndrome (hips aching and spreading)] lol. All to be expected. I look forward to the 2-3 braxton hix contractions everyday knowing that they are just getting me prepared. I am so ready that I am just waiting for some real pains to start (of course once they start I might change my mind). A month will go by quickly.
The kids are sensing the time nearing. Wynter asks me everyday if the baby will be here soon and how long will she have to stay at Meme and Pampa's. She tells me she wants to stay with me and that she will cry when she has to leave for me to have the baby. September and Derek are just ready for life to start with the new baby and to find out for sure what sex it is. Kevin, I think, is just ready to have the whole ordeal over with and to have his wife back. I think like every husband he has great concerns about the unknown for his family and is anxiously awaiting and praying for everything to turn out well.

The time has gone by so fast. Only 1 month left, wow it is almost here. I can't wait to see this new little (GIRL) hehehe. Well it won't be long and then we will see. Take it easy and rest, and let Kevin do the work.
Time goes so swiftly, for everyone else anyway. Seems like no time at all. Hope you continue to feel as good as can be expected. Soon you will get to have your body back. How exciting, a new baby, and your old body! Take it easy.
That is so amazing that it wont be long before we get to hear the big news and maybe how it unfolded for you. I can't wait to find out what you have either...How exciting!! Let the countdown begin.......
