Still….

You’d think I’d be so excited that I’ve reached the finish line and I thought I would be, too.  I guess 40 weeks is not my finish line.

Yes, she’s still in there.  Yesterday put me at 40 weeks, so that makes today 40 WEEKS 1 DAY!!  It’s officially the most pregnant I’ve ever been.

I’m not upset about it at all.  :/ {Can you tell?}

No, honestly, I’m trying to stay positive {TRYING!} and thinking of all of the things I can enjoy right now that I won’t be able to enjoy when she gets here and I’m in a constant sleep deprived fog.

For one, I still get some pretty rock hard sleep and only wake up once or twice to go to the bathroom but I have NO problem going right back to sleep.  It helps that both of the boys sleep through the night and are doing awesome in their newly shared bedroom!

I’m also enjoying feeling her sweet body movements inside of me.  Some are more painful than others, but feeling every one of your baby’s movements is still one of my favorite parts about being pregnant.

And, who can forget the hiccups?!  That is also another favorite part of pregnancy for me.

Bottom line, life is a little easier with her on the inside than it will be when she’s on the outside.  While I can’t wait to hold her in my arms and smell that newborn skin, I’m staying positive knowing she’ll be here soon enough.

Because I’ve cleared my schedule thinking I’d be home with a newborn baby, we pretty much have nothing to do.  I don’t do well with boredom.  So many things I want to do to beat the boredom but I just don’t have the energy!

I did find the energy to do a little crafting yesterday, though.  It took my mind off of things for a while.

I’m in love with these satin flowers lately and they are so fun to make!  I think I’ll do a tutorial post on them, too!

And this morning, Kelly and I took our three little ones to a bounce place to try and wear them out!  I need to stay busy or I’ll get a) tired and b) disappointed that I’m still pregnant.

I got to enjoy a little bit of boy mom fun with my little guys and they were in heaven!

Langston couldn’t stay away from the air hockey table and he’s pretty good at it, for being a first timer.

One last thing I’ve been wanting to tell y’all about and this gives me a good excuse to do it.  My friend, Taren, who I used to teach with, is selling her little girls’ clothes on Facebook and I got a steal on this precious outfit for Christmas.

It should be coming in the mail today or tomorrow.  It looked absolutely adorable on her little girl last Christmas and I’m so excited to hang it in our baby girl’s closet.

The real reason I wanted to bring that up is because not only do Taren’s girls have adorable clothes, but Taren makes a lot of their clothes and accessories.  She got so good at it she opened up an Etsy shop called All Things Ruffled.  A few months ago, I actually bought a pair of these double ruffle footless tights {same color, too!} and I highly recommend you click on that link to see how adorable they are!

I can’t wait to put my little girl’s precious thighs in them in a few months!  If you like Taren’s style {who wouldn’t?} and want to keep up with what she’s making, you can even become a fan of her Facebook page, where she does a lot of her advertising!

She has no idea I’m telling y’all about this, I just really really like her goodies.  And her!

I’m off to maybe find ways to get some contractions going and see if we can’t have a baby soon!  In case you don’t hear from me again until I put a pretty little baby girl’s face on our blog, please pray for strength for me.  I’m very excited about the experience of a water birth and using a birthing center, but I’m suddenly remembering how painful it all is.
