1 more day!

Oh man, tomorrow is THE DAY! (You'd think I was giving birth tomorrow or something based on all this hype I'm making.) Surprisingly, I'm getting more and more confident as we get closer (I think). For some reason, I'm just confident that all is going well down there. I think it's because this time, while my symptoms still are very mild, are more present than my last two pregnancies. I never really noticed constipation last time. The nausea wasn't as present last tiime either. Dont get me wrong, my nausea is wonderful (literally, I really dont feel it much), but it's there. It's kinda funny, like just a funky, yucky feeling that ebbs and flows throughout the day and evening. I guess it really started the last couple of days (I'm currenlty 6 weeks 5 days). I wonder if it'll get worse? Part of me welcomes it. The other cool symptom I have is the boobies. Unfortunately, my guys are still smallish-(34 B's - always have been, looks like always will be), but they're feeling fuller and the nipps are still tender. The nips are a bit more protruded and those montgomery glands are definitly there and funky looking. And lastly, I'm looking a little bloated down there. My weight has stayed the same, and I think I've even lost a couple pounds due to my healthy eating habits, but I sure look bloated. With my clothes off, I can see my belly is a little more rounded. I know it's just bloat at this point, but I cant wait to start really showing (and feeling that baby move!) Anyways, I digress...the main point of this post is to say that tomorrow, we'll get to see our little one!!!

I BELIEVE I RECEIVE!

In other news, I CANT WAIT to start telling people. Yesterday at our Easter luncheon with DH's extended family, we got the question AGAIN of when DH and I are going to start having children. Of course, I ignored the question (made like I didn't hear it) and DH just responded, "I dont know, we'd like one soon." Oh how'd I'd love to say in response, well, we're having children soon, in fact we're due this December !

The ignorant commenter (though meaning well) then said, "c'mon, you dont want to be 60 when your kids are graduating highschool." We're not that old, thank you very much!!! and even if we were, nothing's wrong with that. In fact, I have two very close friends who have "older" parents and they grew up with a lot more opportunities than I ever did. Their parents were more established and well off when they were growing up, as will DH and I be when our children are growing up. We'll definitely be able to offer our children much more than both of our families could afford. (That's my consolation anyways, because truthfully, I always wanted to be a young mom.) Actually, now that I think about it, I'm glad we're having children now at this time in our lives. DH and I have a very strong marriage. We're financially ok, not great, but ok. We've been able to travel (and will be traveling again in 2 and 1/2 weeks!!) and have lived great lives. This is the perfect time to start a family. C'mon little one, we cant wait to meet you tomorrow!
