Waiting on baby 👶🏼

Hey everyone :) I am still here and still pregnant 🤰🏼 You can either say I am 41 and 3 or 40 and 6, depending on which due date I give you:) this is what happens when an ob comes in, knowing nothing about you or your pregnancy history, and starts to change things 🙄 Seriously though, nothing against obs, they are needed :) people are seeming greatly concerned for me and how uncomfortable I must be. Honestly though, my body is feeling pretty great, just sleeping is tough. A big, round belly is hard to sleep with when you can only lay on your sides!!


Life is still normal around here. Schooling, playing, cleaning, adventuring.... life is still in motion. I think God is trying to remind me that I need to soak in this season, because a new one is coming. I love change, it's so good and refreshing, but a part of my heart still has a hard time of  letting the past season go. I analyze my mistakes, all that took place, I think how it could have been better, more meaningful, more intentional.... the list goes on.  Maybe that is just part of motherhood, parenthood, but I have always been like that in small ways. So these extra days without baby boy here with us, even though they are far from perfect, I have greatly valued and appreciated. Owen, Henry, Ellanore and Posey are my little crew! They drive me bonkers and I fail them, they fail me, we all mess up, but we love being together. And I know baby boy will only add to that, but it certainly will change a bit. Thankfully they are excited, eager to hold him and impatiently awaiting his arrival!!!


He will arrive and all will be joyous 😍 Now is the hard part anyways, labor and birth!! 😂😩😜😬😁 that gives me all the crazy feels, for real. Birth is amazing, and after it all done it's like the greatest accomplishment ever.... but seriously... it's no joke! Again, I am thankful I am getting extra
time to prepare for that 🙌🙌



P.s. I have an amazing husband who is supporting me, encouraging me, talking and listening to me, reminding me to relax and enjoy and make memories. I am not sure what state I would be in without him. Thank you shane, I know this is just as crazy of a ride for you as it is for me! I love you 😘
