38 weeks

Update since last night's post: Isn't it funny how you get very little sleep at the end? I was up until 2am with baby "aerobics" girl. She seems to stay active at night:) Then, at 4am I woke up to some pretty serious contractions. I mean, come on...I thought after an hour and a half of them today would be the day. This is reminding me more and more of Cassidy's pregnancy...so confusing at the end:)

I took this a couple of days ago, so I am sure that I have grown since then:) It is hard to imagine the end of this pregnancy journey. It is such a mental/spiritual battle to keep my attitude focused on the fact that this will end very soon. Every day is filled with new challenges at this stage, not to mention my body is trying to prepare for labor and delivery. In fact, as I was going through a labor book that I have had since preparing for Caitlyn, I laughed as I read the phrase, "eliminate all unnecessary activities from your schedule as you prepare for labor and delivery."

Does this include getting everyone dressed, fed and ready for the day? Because after we get through all of these activities I seem to be worn out:) Not to mention, keeping every one's clothes cleaned and school done for the day. I am really not trying to complain, I am just trying to find the balance between actually being able to rest during these last days and keeping up with LIFE.

I have read some great scripture and find myself constantly encouraged that my Savior is my strength and my rest. The little one's birthday will come one of these days and I know in my heart He will give me everything I need and prepare me for that special day.
