38 weeks!!

         Oh my gosh. I honestly cannot believe I am making this post. 38 weeks!! This is my last "pregnant" post. Next post will be the introduction of my sweet boy! Today's doctors appointment was highly anticipated, and I was super nervous. I guess because it was my last appointment, and if I made it through today I could breathe a huge sigh of relief. I can't really explain the feeling I have, making it this far in my pregnancy after having a premature baby and complications in my previous pregnancy. I am sure I have momma friends who can relate though. I've done my best to enjoy this pregnancy, but I can't say that I haven't been brought to my knees on many different occasions. I know that God has his hand on me, and I am going to continue to praise him and pray for a healthy, uncomplicated delivery next week. As far as how I'm feeling. Whew... so this is what 38 weeks feels like? :) I'm having a hard time complaining though! I mean, yeah, I have the aches/pains, constant trips to the bathroom, feeling like a whale, but I haven't been swelling and I'm so thrilled to have carried Austin this long! We are ready for him! I just have a few last minute things to do this week, my momma comes next Monday night, and Tuesday at 12 noon is my C-section!! Look for pics next week :)
