34 weeks



I can't believe I am at 34 weeks. It is such an amazing thing to be pregnant. To think you have another whole human inside of you. It's amazing, a little strange, but none the less amazing. I'm very thankful that I have had such a wonderful pregnancy. It has been different in some ways compared to my pregnancy with Abby, but just as exciting and just as wonderful. I'm thankful that I am still sleeping pretty well and I have slowed down in the gaining weight process. My tummy is huge and round, and I love it. The thing I don't love is when people say "geez, you are really big!" For one, I already know this. For two, i'm carrying a human inside of me. For three, I didn't get this way from drinking to many root beers. Don't make me feel guilty for being big. Some have told me that I'm big, but the way that they say it doesn't make me feel like I need to go examine myself in the mirror. Anyhow, I just need to ignore some people. I really am enjoying my pregnancy. Josiah is so much more active, he doesn't kick or hit too much. He just rolls around and tries to get comfy in his tight space. Miguel is a lot more interested in my pregnancy this time around. I think he is less nervous. I love when he will reach over and rub my belly. It does this mostly in the morning time. He'll say good morning to Josiah and talk to him a little. He asks about his movements and if he's been real active through out the day. Abby loves to feel Josiah move, she get's this huge smile when he makes a really strong movement. She loves to sing to him and talk to him. I think she is going to be a wonderful big sister.
It's amazing how much I already love this little boy. I think about him so much throughout the day. Holding him, kissing him.... I wonder how God is going to use him, and if he is going to want to serve God in the ministry like his daddy or if he is going to do something else. As long as he is doing God's will, I am happy. I'm so excited about having a son. Maybe it is because I never had a little brother and my nephew's live so far away. It is something new to me. I think about going on special dates with him, the way Abby does with her daddy. Yes, I am in love. I thank God for my daughter and for my unborn son. I think the thing I anticipate the most is that first moment when he is born and I look into his eye's and tell him that I am his mommy and love him so much.
