34 Weeks

So here we are, 34 weeks and counting. Baby and I are healthy and I pray we continue to stay that way. I'm measuring consistently 1 week behind my actual gestational week. Which means I appear a tiny bit small but this baby feels huge and heavy inside of me. He's a mover, which is comforting to feel him regularly. It's hard to imagine life with 4 little ones but  for the most part I'm not sitting around feeling anxious about it. I'm too busy with Lila, Calvin, and Emmett for that. Plus, I do remember worrying if I could handle 3 kiddos before Emmett arrived and though it's a lot of work, we figured out a system and things are good great:). So, I guess that's my theory on how we'll make it work with 4 little ones. 
This pregnancy has been a roller coaster. I don't know how I'll feel when it's over. I wonder if I will miss these pregnant days. In the difficult and uncomfortable moments, I find it hard to believe I could ever miss it. I'm trying my best to live in the moment. I'm not sure why it's so hard, but sometimes it is. I have to tell myself to stop wishing away the difficult times and to relax and enjoy whatever is happening when it's happening. That's one thing my children are teaching me about. They definitely live in the moment. I wonder what baby boy #3 (nope, we still can't agree on a name) will be like. I wonder what he will look like. We are excited to meet him and hold him. Just a few more weeks and we will:)
After receiving a few compliments today at church, I felt confident enough to take some pregnancy pics.
