She's Coming!

When? If I had to guess, I would say in the next week. I'm thinking January 20th. Ah, wishful thinking... Although it has been a wonderful almost 38 weeks, I am ready to give birth to Coral and hold her in my arms. I am finally getting tired. Friday was my last day of work!!! I went out that night my my friends, Cristina and Helena and of course my ever amazing husband and Marye. We met at the Crab Landing (I recommend it, by the way). It was fun to get out and about, but it surely wore me out the rest of the weekend. Not a big deal considering I don't have much to do these days. I have been reading (a lot!), writing, watching movies, stuffing my face with chocolate and sandwich's (oh, and an abundance of water...can't get enough), and basically doing nothing. I haven't been getting good sleep, but no matter because I can take naps during the day. Ah, what a life it has been the last few days.

It's weird, I never thought I would actually miss being pregnant. I think about this journey and everything in between and as much as I have wanted to just have her (as I do now more than ever), I will miss the fact that I never felt bad about anything I ate (except a few tuna sandwich's...mercury), and I never worried about looking fat in my clothes or that my clothes were unflattering. It didn't matter, I'm pregnant! What did I have to worry about those silly things for? I hope that I can take that confidence into this next phase of my life. I have long worried about my appearance and obsessively focused on my weight. These last nine months has been a relief (even though I gained 24 pounds) and a much needed course in patience. Thank you Coral!!!

We have our next appointment on Thursday the 15th and Friday will officially be 38th weeks!!!
