It's the last three weeks. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I am not sure what to expect and would love to see the little guy's face but at the same time, I'm not sure if we have everything ready for him. Either way, he's not going to stay in me forever and he's going to make his debut sometime this month. My mom and mother-in-law both say that you follow the full moon, three days before or three days after. I'm not sure about any days except that I'm hoping that I get the semester at the university over with and my two pending research papers written and submitted before he's born. I'm not even sure about completing the school semester anymore.
Two weeks ago, I said I felt large. That was before I noticed stretch marks. I really thought that I had escaped them but nope I didn't. They all appeared overnight. I'm sure that they were there but I never noticed them until they became hard to miss. I can definitely say, you'll get them once you reach that point where your skin has maxed out and the baby's still growing....yep, those last few weeks when you think that you've gotten as large as you can but nature doesn't. I am definitely larger and I sure feel it. It's gotten a bit uncomfortable to maneuver around with the little guy because you just can't get up in a hurry or turn over or roll off the bed as easily as it used to be. Now, they're all these antics involved.
I cannot wait to wear non-maternity clothes and I'm pretty sure I'll throw out half of the things I wore during this time. I would love to wear my favorite pair of jeans once again. Haven't been able to fit into them since I was about 12 weeks. With all that being said though, I'm not sure if I'm tired of being pregnant. Some women are through as soon as they're 35-36 weeks but I enjoyed the little guy. He is a good guest and he's fun when he moves. I look forward to his movements. They're predictable and he never kicked a lot. He just loves to move around and stretch his legs:)
In the last two to three weeks, Ami has moved into a new role. He's become over-protective and his energies are focused on the baby. He's begun to "nest." He wants the house to be perfect for the baby and I try to tell him that the little guy will not care or notice anything but that's Ami's nature. He's a doer and this is a project that is taking all of his energies. In some ways, I can see how he draws more strength from his work and constantly being on the go. Ami has sought out to fix anything that is involved in the baby's life, from taking care of his clothes and storing them to making sure that he's safe when I drive him around. He's set up the baby's room and even went on to add crown moulding and larger baseboards while making sure that all the colors are matching in the room. It's a nice thing to watch and I am not going to intervene. I'll let him enjoy himself. In the meantime, I will cherish these last few days where we are and aren't yet a family.
