I honestly thought this baby would come before making it to 38 weeks 3 days. So being 38 weeks 4 days I am feeling a little overdue, even though I'm not. I guess I better practice the art of allowing until I get to hold this baby in my arms.
When I told Daniel to take a bump picture for me from "a little bit higher angle."
In an attempt to keep me positive about being more pregnant than I have ever been before, I want to write a few things I am thankful for lately.
Since we have felt like the baby is coming soon, we have been trying to just really enjoy the last moments as a family of three. I feel like we have been more present with Kennedy and doing the things that she wants to do and it has been really fun.
I am so thankful I still feel pretty healthy and strong. We love to go on long walks every day and this past week I have felt really good, like I could walk forever. It's been nice. For a while there I had some pretty bad leg pains and just didn't feel great, but the past little bit I have felt better for the most part and I'm really thankful for that.
I re-watched our little video about finding out we were pregnant and it reminded me just how much of a miracle this pregnancy is. It's interesting how I could lose sight of that a little bit. I'm thankful for the reminder and that I am now at the end of the pregnancy instead of the beginning.
I'm thankful to feel the kicks and wiggles inside of me. I feel more present around it now, knowing that there won't be a little one inside much longer.
I am thankful that now that all my expectations have been foiled, I can just move forward and allow whatever is to be to be. All is well.
In other news, since baby has been on my mind I thought I would record Kennedy's Birth Story and How Kennedy Got Her Name. I wrote about it a little bit here, just after she was born, but it was fun to revisit and tell the story in a slightly different way.
