Noah had his very first soccer game earlier this month. He, and all of the other players on his team, were a bit confused on exactly what they needed to do, but they had a fun time, and that's what it's all about. Good thing that they don't keep score, because the other team creamed us. BUT, the fun news is that Noah made the very first goal!!! I was so excited to see him score that goal! Good times!
I can't believe that we are on the final stretch with this pregnancy! I went to the doctor last week and I am going to be induced on June 18, which means I really only have 5 WEEKS LEFT! I have learned that 5 weeks is nothing when it comes to pregnancy, so I'm getting a little nervous on how fast the next few weeks are going to fly by!
But, the thing is, is that Doug and I are getting SO excited to meet this little guy...to see who he is and what he looks like. Oh my, I just love that first moment when you see your baby for the first time...I'm looking forward to that! I know that it's going to be amazing for both of us!
I am also getting very excited to have my body back...I seriously feel like my body has been taken over this time around. I know that it's all worth it, but I'm just getting so tired of: gaining weight at lightning speed, heartburn, sore ribs {oh my, this is the worst!}, constantly looking and feeling tired, going to the bathroom every 10 minutes!, waddling from side to side and getting teased by Doug for it {it's true, babe}, having Braxton Hicks contractions every 15 minutes {or less, sometimes}, not being able to get up off the floor after playing with the kids, etc... The list really does go on, but I'll stop there. Really, I do know that all of this stuff is just part of the deal when it comes to pregnancy, but I'm so thankful to almost be done and have this little guy out for everyone to see!
The other thing that scares me a bit is that I am NOT ready, at all. I haven't got the clothes ready, the car seat ready, bought the diapers and all the other little odds and ends that you need when you have a baby. Oh my, the next 5 weeks really are going to fly by because I really have SO much to do! Plus I wanted to get his baby blanket completely done...we'll see if that happens.
The one thing that I do know for sure is that Noah and Leah are so ready to meet their baby brother. Noah is constantly asking me questions about the baby and how he can help when he comes home. He is really going to be such a great big brother {again}! I'm excited because when we brought Leah home he was so oblivious to the entire situation, and with this baby he has grown up so much and is aware of what is going on and the changes that are going to take place in our family. I'm really excited to see how he really is when we bring him home. Leah...well...I don't think that she really understands what's going on. Although, she does come and kiss my belly constantly and says "hi baby" to my belly, BUT, she the same thing to Doug's belly, which makes him feel really special, so, ya, I don't think she gets it. She is very nurturing when it comes to other babies and she loves taking care of her little babies, so I guess we'll have to just wait and see how she reacts when we bring her little brother home from the hospital. It'll be interesting, that's for sure!
So, there's my update on this pregnancy and here's to just 5 more weeks before we meet this little angel {and, NO, he does not have a name yet!}.
Here I am at 34 weeks in all my pregnancy glory...
He has worked SO hard the past two years and I am SO proud of him and this amazing accomplishment! I am beyond excited that he is finally done and that we can now have him home with the family from here on out.
