Still Here

So, I haven't posted in a while. We haven't really done a whole lot to post about. I mostly just want to sit on the couch all day ( I wish) and rest. We are doing the bare minimum around here. I've had all kinds of things pop up with this pregnancy that I have never had before so mostly I just want to be done. I thought that I would write some of the things I will miss most about pregnancy, because believe it or not (I'm saying this more for myself) there will come a time when I miss these days. So, here goes:

1. I like how courteous people are to pregnant women. I have had people rush to open doors for me, let me cut in front of them in line, and asked to help me with my cart, etc. I wish people were like this on a more regular basis.

2. Everyone thinks I should be sitting and resting. Every time I offer to help someone, they say "No, you should go put your feet up." It used to bother me at first, but now I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and understanding.

3. Everyone smiles at you when you walk by. Pregnant women can be tired, huge, and grumpy and still look so beautiful.

4. I will definitely miss feeling the baby move. Even when they are kicking the crud out of my ribs, I still love to feel them move. I love to sit there, with my hand on my belly and day dream about who the baby will look like and how she will behave.

5. Most of all, I will miss feeling like I am part of a miracle. No matter how many times I get pregnant, it is still miraculous to me. That an ordinary person can bring another life into the world is overwhelming and testifies to me of a higher purpose and creator. To be involved in this work is an honor.

I went to the doctor today who reported that the baby has dropped "very low". It shouldn't be too long now. I better go "put my feet up" while it is still considered okay to do so!! =)
