37 Weeks!

We are on the last few weeks before our family welcomes a new angel.  Not only do we have Christmas in a couple days, we have a new baby to be excited for.  Before we know it our world will be turned upside down for the best reason. I just can't wait to meet him.  The whole anticipation is just so exciting, wondering when he will come and how things will go and getting him here safe and sound.  Jet understands pretty well he is getting another brother, he is so cute when he tells random people that I am going to have a baby. On a couple of occasions he tells people to say congratulations to me because I am going to have a baby.  I think he will be good with baby, but he doesn't always get along or behave well with the brother he already has. Dash doesn't really know what is going on, he just knows I have a baby in my tummy and that he does too.
I have to say this pregnancy has been the hardest.  Everything that comes with pregnancy came on sooner and more intense than I have had before.  I am already over my highest weight I was with Dash, I had more morning sickness, more heartburn, and I even have swollen feet sometimes which I never had. I don't ever want to seem like I am complaining, but being pregnant is not my favorite thing.  Tonight I dropped something on the floor, and I just kinda looked at it like 'oh man that is so far away right now', and picked it up. My least favorite thing is gaining weight. It makes it difficult to get around, hard on my bones, and just so uncomfortable.  My favorite part is feeling the baby move, but even sometimes that doesn't feel good either.
It is also interesting the comments I get from people.  It ranges from "Are there two in there?" to "I could hardly tell you were pregnant".  I still go to the gym and a couple of people have told me they admire me getting out and still exercising.  Going to the gym was my way of taking a break from my kids and trying not to gain every ounce possible of weight this time around.  I never take offense to what people say, because they aren't trying to hurt anyone's feelings and they don't know that I make big babies.
Baby is doing great, the last few appointments he has measure 2 weeks larger than the calendar, so he is going to be a big baby.  I plan on doing it natural again unless something crazy comes up.  In my mind and physically I just can't wait for him to be out and have my body back to myself, but I also know that when he comes all heck will break loose with 3 kids ages 4 and under.  I have prepared myself for the worst, but hopefully it turns out better.  The 2 I have already can drive me crazy, so I know another will magnify that. 
The weekend following New Years we will be doing baby preparations and after that, I would love to see him come sooner than later.  I am thankful for the blessing of being a mom and hope this new little one feels of our love.
