I'm ready

I am over the hump of feeling sad to give up being pregnant and now I am just excited to meet Madi. I have enjoyed her so much and she really has been easy on my body which I really appreciate. I love watching and feeling her move in my belly. The hiccups are my favorite, but I am sure they are annoying to her ;) he he. Sometimes I will be trying to get homework done, run errands, do laundry, clean and vacuum, make meals, etc and everything takes twice as long because Madilynn is sometimes less than cooperative. Those times are when she wants to stretch out and push like she is trying to break right out of my belly or she will stick a foot in my hip making it more difficult to walk. Still, I am not the least bit annoyed. Instead I am so grateful I get to have a little one even if it means I can't do what I used to. At the end of the day, anything I don't get done is worth knowing my little one is healthy and moving all around. A few weeks ago I was able to hear her hiccups on the doppler at my OB appointment and it literally took my breath away.

I am excited to see what she looks like. Will she have hair? What color will it be? How much will she weight? How long will she be? Will she be a good sleeper? Will she be a good eater? Will she be filled with energy or more of a mellow baby? I am so excited to find out all of these things about her. Strangely, I am even excited to experience labor. It is something I have never done and I really do love new experiences despite the negative connotation that labor can have. I know it will all be worth it. I feel ready for her. There are still some things that we need for her, but emotionally, I now I can hack this. I am ready to show her how much I love her. I am ready for her to meet her daddy (though I know she can hear him, because she always goes crazy at night when he gets home from work). I only need her to stay in here another 3 - 4 weeks to ensure her lungs are ready to go and then it is up to her. We are ready when she is. :)
