Ode to pregnancy...

I've enjoyed this pregnancy most of all...probably b/c I know that it's our for sure for sure last...and also probably b/c I know baby is content and not crying while in womb. I'm big. I'm most looking forward to adding another chatterbox to our family...mostly I will look forward to an uproar at the dinner table every night with all the wonderful things everyone has to say...car rides on the other hand...I'm scared of. Can't wait to wear my cozy jeans and comfortably get up and down from the floor. I'm not sure if it would be easier to sit down and shave my legs and contort myself over my belly or keep trying to hike my leg up on the side of the shower. Nesting has kicked in...I'm consumed with organizing, cleaning and sewing...my eyes even pop open in the middle of a siesta with another brilliant idea...I'm sure the mr. will appreciate his growing list of honey-do's. My body demands me take the hottest bath possible every night....sorry city water supply. Our baby names are decided. Our birth WILL be amazing. 9 weeks to go and counting. Need a new ob...she's amazing. I know I'm in the home stretch when the skin at the top of my belly is a constant tingle. I'm giddy when asked what baby is...and I gleefully shrug my shoulders and say "we didn't find out."...it's makes others giddy too. Nothing is "prepared" for baby and I LOVE it...baby needs nothing but boob anyway. My mind is lazy these days...cobwebish...like today when we got all ready to go and made a super big deal about meeting Rylan's teacher for Pre-K...we rounded the corner to the school when I heard the mr. say..."um are you sure it's tonight b/c there aren't any cars here"...of course I'm sure it's tonight...I'm so good about my dates and being on top of all those things I'm super good at....apparently not b/c we were 2 days early...pardon me if the 26th looked similar to the 28th...Ooops.
