Oh it's week 39 for me and it's hard to get around these days but at least I know I'm near the end of my pregnancy. For the most part it hasn't been a bad pregnancy and I'm very thankful for that. I only really felt pregnant these last three months. It seemed like time has flown by since last July when we first found out we were expecting. I'm glad I kept a journal and a blog during this exciting time in my life. Somehow being pregnant made me feel "complete" as a woman. Also knowing that several of my friends were pregnant at the same time really made this a good experience.
I'll always remember the day we found out we were pregnant, the countless doctors appointments and the physical changes. I'll remember the day I noticed my tummy was growing and the maternity clothes shopping I did at the mall. I'll remember the day I felt the flutters and the priceless sonograms we saw that determined that our baby was going to be a girl. I'll remember the childbirth classes Jon and I took together and the books we read together. Oh and how can I forget the baby registries I set up? That was fun! Can't forget the baby furniture we bought and the many wonderful baby gifts we received (and are still receiving).
Yes, this has all been a great experience. I've read that some women miss being pregnant for various reasons. I think part of me will miss it a little especially the special treatment I have been getting. But I'm ready to start being a mother and building new memories.
