Well, I see that Wilson has finally grown tired of me saying that I will update the blog tonight, but never doing it. Sorry about that. So for weeks 16 through 33 of the pregnancy, I could not have been happier. I was comfortable, had lots of energy, and was just pure excited. Well starting with week 34 (last Friday). That comfort has been replaced with an aching body (especially back), sleepless nights, and mood swings (poor Wilson). The energy has been zapped, and I feel as though I simply cannot put one foot in front of the other. Lastly, that pure excitement has been replaced with pure terror. I am realizing (slowly) that this baby has to come out somehow some way, and that I play a huge role in that process. I just cannot bring myself to pack that stinking hospital bag either because then I may have to face the fact that I will be going to the hospital and having this baby (and I have seen those videos). Wilson has been very very good to me (and I can only imagine how hard that is right now)! I do know that Little Miss Ella Grace and I cannot coexist in the same body for much longer though. We are playing an interesting game of chicken, and if she doesn't give in soon, then I may have to let her have it. See how dramatic I can be?
She is very very active and she gets the hiccups between 3 and 5 times per day. It looks as if I have an alien in my stomach when she twists and turns, and I do believe that I grabbed a foot the other day up near my ribs. She seems to like to lodge them up under my ribs where I cannot rearrange her. I do know that I am falling more and more in love with her with each day that passes, and I am beside myself to see her precious little face. We are going to have so much fun!!!!
I want to echo Wilson's thank you's for the wonderful showers and gifts. We are truly blessed to have such a generous and loving network of friends and family. Ella Grace has no idea how much she is loved already. You all mean the world to our growing family, and I cannot wait for you to meet our little miracle. I love you!

Hey Mom and Dad,
ReplyDeleteEven though I have seen you both for the last few weekends it is delightful to read the blog. I am about to "overflow" with excitement of seeing Ella Grace for the first time. I keep trying to imagine what it will be like and I have even been practicing my reaction
but I cannot wrap my mind around it. Katie, I beg of you to take it easy,take a deep breath and nature will take its course which ever course it desires! Just know there is lots and lots of prayer going up for the three of you and there will never be a shortage of love and care for you all.
Love,
Apple
