With 6 you get eggroll


I am restarting my blog mostly for me (kind of a lazy gal's journal) and anyone bored enough to actually want to read it :) I am currently 36 weeks and 2 days pregnant with our 2nd baby girl (if the ultrasound can be trusted) Emma. I am really starting to get excited to meet her. This pregnancy has been very bittersweet for me. We have decided to get the tubal so this will be my last baby (sigh) and I really wanted to savor every minute of being pregnant but so much has gotten in the way. In the beginning when I was having complications I was sure I was going to miscarry so I pushed the thought of being pregnant out of my mind. Then we were dealing with waiting for our foster son to find a new placement, the holidays came, I was having bad rib pains, trouble sleeping, etc. Now that I only have about 25 days left, I feel the time slipping away. Even though it is sometimes painful or annoying when trying to sleep, I will miss feeling my baby move and kick inside me. This will be the only time in life I will have a hard stomach :) I don't feel bad about being huge (which I AM), I can take a nap without feeling guilty. So I vow to try to enjoy this pregnany (at least the part up until the labor pains) and to document it better. Six has always been my favorite number back to elementary school so I feel like it is a good way to complete our family and they say with six you get eggroll... so we'll see. This is a picture of me at 36 weeks taken by Madison.
