It's fun that it is November and I can finally say, I'm due next month. I've been having lots of random thoughts lately and here are a few of the censored ones.
1) Really, there is no test before they let you walk out of the hospital with a baby. It's harder to get a new drivers license then it is to have a baby.
2) 70lbs, holy hannah this kid better be huge to justify the weight.
3) Is anyone ever ready for parenthood. My whole life I've waited for this time to come and now I wonder if I'm even close to ready for this.
4) I can't wait to hold my sweet baby in my arms. I think about it constantly. I think about how it will be to see him for the first time.
5) I hope he has 5 fingers on each hand and 5 toes on each foot. I know it's weird but I really do think about this. I want no more or no less.
6) I'm so glad that my baby will have Brent as his daddy! I couldn't feel more blessed or lucky when it comes to this. I love the way he talks about being a daddy.....and yes pregnant me is now crying.
7) Wow, I can't wait to not be so dang emotional. I want my regular hormones back!
8) How much will my relationship change with Brent?
9) Will I lose any of the weight I've gained? I'm gonna try hard but I will not obsess or let it take over my life. The most important thing to be is that we are happy.
10) Will I be a good mom. I often wonder if I will be to laid back or way over protective. I've been a good aunt but this is way different.
11) I hope that I don't tear during labor and that I am able to go natural. Maybe labor isn't as bad as I've imagined. Woman have been doing it forever. Our bodies are made for it.
12) I wonder what personality traits baby will inherent from me and Brent. Will he be super laid back or spunky? As a child I was super shy so we might have us a quiet one on the way.
13) How long does it actually take you body to recover after labor. I've known women that are out and about the next day and some that take forever.
14) Will he come on his own or will I have to be induced. I want him out by his due date because of Brent's exam schedule. The dr said she would induce around my due date or a week early if my cervix is favorable. As of know my cervix is locked up as tight as Fort Knox. That kid is so comfy in there.
15) I wish Elijah would not use my bladder as a trampoline or my vag as a place to prace his future football moves.
16) Our bodies are amazing and can do amazing things. I feel truly blessed daily to have the chance to be Elijah's mother.
17) It's a huge responsibility to be a parent. We have to teach this kid to choose the right, to stand in holy places, to be a good person. We are charged to teach him everything he needs to know to return to live with our Father in Heaven.
I have so many more thoughts about baby but I'll leave it at this. I couldn't be more anxious, more excited, more scared, happier, etc then I am right now.
PS. I am having a baby shower in Memphis tomorrow so I'll post pictures. I'm excited for it....I just hope some people come.
