Full Term

I spent this morning reading over this blog. I have to admit- it's a little surreal. It seems like just yesterday I saw the line show up on the pregnancy test, and at the same time, ages ago.

This blog has been one of the best ideas I've had in a long time. It is allowing me to recall details in a way that I cannot do with my first pregnancy. Although, I have some special keepsakes from my first pregnancy (4D ultrasound pictures & DVD) that I do not have this time. Each child has their own unique experience documenting their arrival in the world, and I am OK with that.

This morning, as I type this, I am now considered "full term". My pregnancy is effectively over. The baby is just about as developed as she is going to be (not including size). Now, we are just waiting for nature to decide that the inside environment is no longer suitable, and for her to make an entry into the outside world.

As each moment goes by, I get more and more excited and anxious. What will she look like? How will Mini Me react to her? How will Hubby and I deal with the demands of a newborn and a pre-schooler? Will she have the same outgoing, adventurous personality as Mini Me or be more reserved?

I cannot wait for her to be here, but I am trying to remember every minute of this amazing journey before it is over.
