For the first time in this pregnancy I am actually ready for Baby Boy #3 to be born. I posted last week that I was sad for it to be coming to an end and part of me is still sad. However, I am ready for him to be here. My whole pregnancy I have thought about how it is much easier to take care of him inside of me than outside while taking care of Carter and Preston. While this is true, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to take care of Carter and Preston while being this pregnant. I mean, I'm huge!!! I didn't think it was possible for me to have more stretch marks but they have somehow managed to multiply this week. It is hard for me to even get off the couch because my tummy is so big. Carter is so sweet and "helps" me get up. It is hard for me to change Preston's diaper because the edge of the dresser cuts into my tummy and if I stand further away then I can't reach him. It is hard to pick Preston up off the floor. It is just plain hard to do anything right now. I'm exhausted beyond belief but have a hard time sleeping. Even while taking Ambien, I am still waking several times through out the night and not really getting rest. My hips are killing me. I am just plain, flat out miserable right now. I know I'm whining but I'm done. I am very thankful that I have made it now to almost 37 weeks and my goal has been to make it to September 1st and it looks like that will happen. This coming Monday will be 37 weeks and only 2 more short weeks until I deliver.
So, all of this to say, I am so ready to meet Baby #3!!! I am ready to hold him and see what he looks like. I am ready to see how his big brothers react to him. I more than excited to see everyone's reaction to the name we have chosen. It is taking a lot of effort to keep it a secret because we are both so excited about sharing his name with everyone. It is a very special name and I know there will be a few tears of happiness when we announce.
