8 months and 2 days

I have less than a month until my very anticipated due date. I realize, however, that I could go into labor early, or I could carry passed my due date. I have my fingers crossed for a little bit early of a delivery as we all know I am (along with many others) dying to meet Baby E.

Everyday tasks are becoming more and more difficult as the days go by. I think this is to be expected as the baby continues to gain weight. So, I am allowing myself to feel very accomplished when I complete chores, even if it takes me a little longer than normal.

I am also still working. I know there are 1000s of women that work right up until their due date but I didn't think I'd be one of them. Atleast not on the really bad nights when I was in so much pain. But, my hope is to continue bringing in somewhat of an income, even if it is just a little bit. I'm trying to keep in mind, every little bit helps.

Sleeping is difficult too. If I'm not in the perfect position with a pillow supporting my belly I feel off and she moves and kicks like crazy until I roll over or change positions. Does this mean she's going to be picky? Hopefully not. Maybe just sensative like her Momma. (Watch out Dad!)

All of the struggles and difficulties I'm having I know aren't as bad as they could be. I know I've been blessed with a fairly moderate pregnancy. I also know some of these things are preparing me for what's to come; not sleeping through the night and taking longer to do tasks just to name a few. I know A LOT is about to change. And I'm ready to welcome the changes.

Keep loving.
