I am on leave and I am loving it, Shane's job is going wonderful and Isabelle just started her last week at daycare. I have completely organized the bedroom so that Abby will fit right in when she gets here, and spent the last week getting things as organized as possible for her arrival. I've got the bottles sterilized (even though I plan on exclusively breast feeding for the first 6 months at least), I've got the diaper bag packed for the hospital, my bag packed, my daughters overnight bag packed, I've got Isabelle's room organized to fit more toys in, I have to say, I'm quite impressed with the progress I have made in the past week. Now all I have left is just daily chores and waiting for Abby's arrival.
My mother has decided to put together a last minute shower for Abby. I was not all for it at first I figured we could just have a meet and greet for her when she gets here but its something to distract me from the long days and something to look forward to. I also get to enjoy the company of all my aunts and cousins which will be fun for a night out.
So overall, How am I feeling?I'm almost 37 weeks.
I feel like I am on a bad reality show this week. I know I shouldn't complain, and I am completely blessed and excited for Abby's arrival but I think I just won my own little reality series. I shall call it "Last preggo standing." We all started out this journey together, with different due dates but close enough together that its any ones game. Then all of a sudden, EVERY PREGNANT WOMEN I KNOW, who was due the same time as me decided to give birth. This past week three people who were due the same date as me or in that area, decided that they had enough of being pregnant and gave birth to beautiful healthy children. I am overjoyed for them but at the same time, I realize I am the only person left without my baby in my arms. I guess its gods way of saying,enjoy your time with Isabelle, rest, take some time to yourself. But jeesh, the waiting is killing me. And don't you think that if I am the last contestant then at some point soon, considering I've already won, the last preggo standing should have her baby?? OK so maybe I am overreacting, but its something to think about.
