hooray.

For some reason my goal throughout my entire pregnancy thus far, has been to make it to thirty weeks.  I just kept telling myself, "If I can make it to week thirty I can make it all the way."  I remember being so excited to be over eight weeks, so I could say I was two months along, at the time I felt quite accomplished being able to count in months rather than just weeks.  haha.  Now that I am in the "final stretch" I'm feeling even more accomplished.  


My roller coaster of emotions is still in full swing.  My strongest emotion is excitement, but its followed closely by anxiety!  I am so ready to not be pregnant out of sheer selfishness.  My body has never been so stretched and disproportioned.  I'm ready to sleep on my belly and have regain some much needed energy.   [:  All in all, I have enjoyed being pregnant a lot more than I expected to, but I never anticipated how life changing it is, even before giving birth.  I'm ready for our family to be whole, and to meet this little monster who is so active I can hardly stand it.  I watch my stomach in amazement as she stretches from under my ribcage all the way to my hip.  Even though she has kicked and squirmed for over two months now, it still makes me laugh to watch her contort my stomach and cause it to ripple.  As excited as I am to hold and kiss her, I know I'll miss these little reminders of her growth and development in my belly.  Nothing is more wonderful than feeling her grow bigger and stronger.  I just love my baby.  [:
