i'm feeling, well, bigger...

I just can't believe I'm down to 6 weeks until my due date! It blows my mind that less than 34 weeks ago I was praying and hoping that I'd wake up in the morning, pee on a stick, and see two lines appear on a pregnancy test! It also amazes me that I've gone through this whole pregnancy without Josh physically at my side. That amazes me so much because I haven't felt like he's not here, I haven't felt like he's missed out on anything. I feel that way because I know he is still here and he isn't missing out on anything. He's here for me in ways that he never could be before. Yes, of course I wish he was still here on earth with me, preparing for our baby girl, but I have so much faith in God's plan for Josh, Baby Girl Amen, and me that it's hard to let that "wishing" overshadow my excitement for what's in store for us right now. And right now, I'm in awe of the fact that I've got this little girl growing inside of me and she's going to be in my arms in only 6 weeks!

I feel like during this past week I've gotten a lot rounder. Baby Girl Amen is gaining weight, which I know for sure because I'm blaming my gain of 5 pounds in two weeks on her growth. :) This week is my last week without a doctor's appointment until Baby Girl Amen is born, believe it or not! Next week I will start my weekly appointments with my OB. I already know this little girl is head down...she has been for quite a few weeks now. So, without jinxing myself, I'm not too worried about her being breech or in any other strange positions...but I guess there's always that chance she'd make some acrobatic move at the last minute.

I've also started feeling more uncomfortable. It's hard to find a comfy place to sit, lay, or stand for that matter. I never knew rolling over in bed could be so uncomfortable, difficult, and at times, painful! I'm not really complaining...I'm just stating the facts. I wouldn't give it up for anything...I LOVE being pregnant and I'm already starting to feel a little sadness about it coming so close to the end. However, I think the thrill of having Baby Girl Amen in my arms will help me overcome my sadness fairly quickly. I am so excited about seeing my little girl!
