my pirate & my toes. 38 weeks.
Two weeks. TWO WEEKS. Can I say it again?! Just TWO. MORE. WEEKS.
I’m definitely feeling like I’m at the end. I feel like I have an enormous person shoved inside my abdomen. An enormous person that moves at all hours of the night or randomly decides to sit on my bladder. I know he’s moved to a different position and I’m guessing he’s getting ready to…you know, get ready.
I’ve also been feeling E.MO.TION.AL. Like just thinking about crying makes me want to cry. Yesterday I was having totally irrational fears and imagining that these two weeks would be the last two weeks of my normal life. (Please don’t tell the pirate I said that…)
In happier news, I had another shower yesterday! It was at church and so sweet. Yummy food, a cute cake and lots of adorable presents…even a few pirate gifts! It was actually a joint shower with another mama who’s due 2 weeks after me. She also has a little girl who’s about to be a big sister to her new little brother. I felt very honored share the day with her and to have all those great women around me.
I didn’t get one good picture, but it was cute to see the two “big sisters” jump on those presents and then show them off Vanna-White-style to all the other ladies.
So, now that the showers are over and done, the nursery is painted, the clothes washed and the middle name picked out, there’s nothin’ left but the waitin’!
Oh my! That picture is amazing. Aren’t you somethin?
I can’t believe that you’ve only got two weeks left. The time has flown for me. LOL! =D
I’m sure you’re going to have a great helper with Lydia as a big sister.
Oh wow! Two more weeks. I think he’ll be early (since I know so much about these things-ha!)
Rest up, my friend. Rest up.
I agree that I think he’ll be early … start thinking days not weeks!!! In fact, I’m expecting news after this weeks’s baby appt & before your dad leaves the country!!!
Only TWO WEEKS? Wow, where does the time go? Praying for you that these last days are comfortable. 🙂
What a great view 🙂 Can’t wait until we hear all the details 🙂
That picture is to cute! I can’t believe it’s only 2 more weeks! HUGS!!
Oh my! That’s a great pic! And you know it could be less than two weeks! I’m so excited for you!
WOW! And I am not due until March and feel that way too! haha
That is the cutest baby belly pic I’ve seen yet!
How fun about the shower!
girl! you are bold! If I had taken that pic when I was 38 weeks, you would not have seen toes. You would not have seen anything else – even the floor.
That picture is AH-mazing! Love it! And yay for baby gifts! 🙂
That picture makes me hurt! Can’t wait to get the phone call!
you poor thing… much more than 2 weeks and you may topple over…
That shot is amazing! In the “isn’t the female body” way. 🙂
Wow, you can actually see your feet! Congratulations.
Sending up prayers for you. Each of my children arrived a week before their scheduled arrival time. Even with c-sections, you just never know. Here’s to praying that pirate comes early?!
I can’t believe it’s only 2 weeks! That’s so soon! What a beautiful picture!
Oh. My. God! Having just birthed six weeks back I SO feel for you! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that photo.
Yep, these last few weeks are not much fun are they! Besides my feet being treble their normal size, I’m totally with you on the emotional front. There have been way too many tears this week and it’s only Tuesday!! Take it easy girl! x
That’s a GREAT picture! You must be getting SO anxious.
I can totally identify with pretty much everything in this post. I just have three weeks to go instead of two. Gah!
Don’t feel bad about feeling like your “normal” life is ending in 2 weeks. I couldn’t fill out Aiden’s preg. journal because I was so depressed that I was going to be taking time away from James to be with the baby – I was in a bad place and as I got more and more preg, it got worse. Pirate will fit right in like he’s always been there – no worries!
Oh and the 18th is my wedding anniv. so feel free to pop a pirate on that day! 🙂 Good luck, I’m thinking about you!
I forgot to ask in my last comment, how good was the ‘baby wizard book’? I can’t find it online to ship to the UK, did they have any cutesy quirky names that compliment Courtney?
That is one good photo and it belongs in his baby book!
Big Smile!
Just stopping by to see how you are doing-wow! Two weeks! Or less 🙂 I can’t wait for the arrival of baby pirate!
