March 30, 2011 - Last day of pregnancy

So officially to my last day of pregnancy and I'm doing a little reflecting since this is my first baby. I start laughing at all the little things that stressed me out or frustrated me (and probably still do) but here is a little list of the things that I'm ready to be DONE with ;)

1. Frustration of not being able to reach across the kitchen counter or get a close-up in the bathroom mirror due to my belly size
2. Finding the lightest weight clothing possible on doctor visit days (aka weigh-ins) - I was really struggling in the winter months! I would strip off layers!
3. Waking up every hour to go to the bathroom and it taking another 15 minutes after the bathroom run to re-arrange my fortress of body pillows and pillows
4. The mindless comments from complete strangers about the possibility of twins in that enormous belly.....or that maybe my due date is off.........I left the grocery store in tears a few times, those women are ruthless!
5. Hiding my stash of Twizzler Nibs from my husband.......I never wanted him to see how fast the stash dwindled so I always had a back up bag to replace the missing ones from the open bag!
6. Finding clothes that are LONG enough in these final weeks were a daily chore especially for work - I felt like a farmer with his belly hanging out of most shirts
7. Haha I think I could go on with more......but that is the short of it.....

So anyways.......here we are about 12 hours from our check-in time at the hospital. Today has definitely been a roller coaster of emotions and constant prayers. As excited, ecstatic, and giddy that I am to be meeting my perfect little daughter tomorrow the fear of the unknown with labor is seriously scaring me so much that Mike might have to pry me out of the car! On the flip side, he couldn't be more excited about tomorrow although walking around the house singing "It's the Final Countdown" has been no solace to me!

Well here's to the last night as just the two of us......I cant wait to post pictures and happy news of the arrival of our daughter tomorrow!
