I looked at my ticker this morning and was SHOCKED that it said 9 days. I just can't believe it is less than 10 days until my EDD. Now or course baby bird may or may not make an appearance by then and that is fine with me, this pregnancy has just gone by so fast.
The question of the week from everyone seems to be "Aren't you ready for him to get here?" Well that answer is a little complicated. Preparation wise, we are ready. The nursery is ready to go, his clothes are washed, I am off work and as of tonight, Jasper will be home from his business trip and so we can have this kid at any time. Emotionally, of course we are so excited to finally meet this little guy who we have waited so long for. That being said, I love being pregnant and would not mind at all another week to two weeks with him before he makes his debut. Sure there are uncomfortable moments in the final week(s) of pregnancy, but I cherish them just as I have all the wonderful moments. This is something that I was not sure would happen for us and, while hopeful, I am not 100% sure will happen for us again. I know how lucky I am to not only have gotten pregnant but to also have made it to this point will a full term (and possibly large!) healthy baby.
Selfish as it sounds, I love that I still have him all to myself. So whether he decides to make his debut in a day or two weeks, we are happy. Now, should I make it to 41 weeks with no signs of an end, I might start singing a different tune!
