Observations

Now that I have entered the final weeks of this pregnancy I have made some observations.

Do family and friends really feel so insecure that they think we wouldn't call and let them know this little girl has made her appearance in this world? Apparently they do because someone calls daily and asks if she has been born yet.

I have heartburn like no body's business! Seriously. I drank WATER today, WATER! and had horrible heartburn. I feel that it is pretty much hopeless and might as well skip the tums because they are as nasty as heartburn is miserable.

Now this next observation is kinda personal. However, I think any woman who has ever been pregnant can probably attest to the truth in this next statement. Hemorrhoids are from the devil. Never at any other point in my life do I have this issue but if I didn't know better I would think that this little girl was trying to make her appearance and took a wrong turn on her way out!

I do not know every one's experiences but I truly have no doubt that there is so much truth in every. pregnancy. is. different. With this being my third I really went into it thinking I would know what to expect. Ummmm NOT SO MUCH!

Little Miss is not following the rules. Her head is wear her butt should be and she is acting like she is perfectly comfy in this position. The Dr's and other women assure me there is time and room for her to turn... but I am not convinced.

I don't believe in luck but if I did my luck would be that she stays this way and I will be in the hospital recovering from a c-section while my dear, dear husband chases after our other two kids and moves us from one house to another.

When we first found out I was pregnant it was a HUGE surprise! Seriously HUGE surprise. I told hubby that it is a good thing it was a girl and not a boy or I would be wondering if God was going the route of a virgin birth to send Christ to earth again. I moved past that though and have embraced this pregnancy as the gift and blessing that it is. I even started envisioning getting to have the labor and delivery I didn't have with my first two.

I want that pregnancy, labor and delivery where the woman burps a little in the first few weeks, has tons of energy in the middle part, then shows up in the hospital at just the right time and basically sneezes and without causing me any pain out pops the baby.

Yes, I know how unrealistic that is.

Instead, I had lots of morning sickness - but praise GOD it did not compare to the morning sickness I had in my first two pregnancies!

I have yet to get that burst of energy.

I am however still praying for a safe, natural (epidural included) labor and delivery.

We should know in the next week or two.

WOW! That is soon. If I actually make it to my due date then I have 3 weeks and 4 days.

We move in two weeks.
