I'm thinking:
- I'm thinking my back hurts.
- I'm thinking about how I was so so so anxious when my countdown told me I still had 100 days left! That day I was going to make a countdown chain to help pass time by....hmm...I'm at 28 days now and still haven't even started making one!! :) lol Talk about procrastination! How long does it take YOU to do something you've wanted to do for a while!?! We'll see if I even get around to it now! :)
- I'm thinking my tummy is large--however, I don't have an outie belly button. It's just flat this time!
- I'm thinking about how the doctor says this baby is larger than Kamryn was. I hope not too much larger!
- I'm thinking that there has got to be some way to help my body be ready for labor sooner than later.
- I'm thinking I'm thirsty. I've drinken 6 bottles of water today already.
- I'm thinking I'm sick of going to the bathroom.
- I'm thinking I want to live on tylenol because of these sore muscles.
- I'm thinking I wish I didn't have to move for the next month! :)
- I'm thinking heartburn is AWFUL!
- I'm thinking food doesn't taste very good anymore. I need an appetite again!
- I'm thinking I have to go to the bathroom again.
- I'm thinking I don't have clothes that fit anymore...again! But what's the point of buying something I'll only use for a month or so?!! I just can't bring myself to do it!
- I'm thinking I want to go shopping ... but just don't have the drive to do it and I KNOW my energy won't last!
- I'm thinking about how fun it is going to be to have a newborn again--to cuddle and cuddle and cuddle!
- I'm thinking how wonderful it will be to exercise and get in shape again. I've never loved exercising...in fact...I really hate it! But I'm feeling so motivated to get toned and skinny again! I want to swim, I want to play the Wii Fit, I want to stretch and tone my tummy!
- I'm thinking heartburn is AWFUL!!
- I'm thinking about how Kamryn is going to react to the baby. She held a baby for the first time last week (3 month old baby) and LOVED it! It just brought warmth to my heart watching her be so excited and proud of herself with the baby---I'm so excited to see what she'll want to do with him everyday!
- I'm thinking about how Ryan and I are going to be parents of 2...and that it makes me feel "grown up". I mean, we see plenty of young (student) couples who have A kid...but not TWO! We're entering the world of a "family" rather than a couple with a kid. Don't get me wrong...I'm excited...but uncertain at the same time if I really am "grown up" enough! :)
- I'm thinking I have to go to the bathroom again!
- I'm thinking about the summertime---can't wait to go swimming! Can't wait to be out in the sun! Can't wait to go on a vacation! Don't care where---just somewhere WARM! :)
- (however, I'm not sure WHEN exactly we'll be able to get away!)
- I'm thinking about my Dr. Appointment I had today---wishing I knew if I have started progressing or not yet. I won't know anything for another 2 weeks though.
- I'm thinking I need another bottle of water to drink!
- I'm thinking about how 4 weeks really isn't THAT far away...but at the same time feels like FOREVER!
- I'm thinking that it catches me off guard when I think that I could really have another baby in just 18 days (if he is as early as Kamryn!)
- I'm thinking about all my family and friends that I have around. I was looking at pictures of when we had Kamryn and all the help and support we had. I am looking forward to all the love and support we will feel with this baby too!
- I'm thinking I'm excited for my hospital stay! In fact, I'm excited for labor and delivery! My doctor told me today that with each pregnancy, the pregnancy gets harder and harder! BUT the delivery gets easier and easier! Well...I thought my first delivery was pretty darn easy so if that holds true, I have NOTHING to worry about this time! :) (All I can say though, is thank heaven for epidurals!) :)
- I'm thinking about my wonderful husband and his wonderful and flexible job. It is going to be easy for him to come and go as he needs when this baby comes.
- I'm thinking that this baby has no more room to grow...he's between my legs and up in my ribs already! What is going to happen in 4 more weeks?!! :)
- I'm thinking about what we are going to name him... Kasen, Kyler, Kobe... not even meaning to do the "K" thing...but those all sound best with "ryan" as the middle name! :)
- I'm thinking about how this pregnancy has been tougher in some ways, but easier in others.
- Tougher: energy levels(Kamryn), pain in Braxton contractions, more pain in tummy muscles
- Easier: relationship with Ryan, being paranoid about things, sleeping
- I'm thinking I don't feel as anxious as I expected to be at this point...but I would be very pleased if the baby came earlier than later! :) But I don't feel like I need to PUSH it as much this time.
- I'm thinking I need to pack for the hospital---which also includes going to get a couple things for breastfeeding and postpartum!
I'm thinking it's just about time for this baby to come! What do you think?!! :)
(Thanks for reading...this is more for my journal and memory than anything!) :)

What a list and I can totally relate to every thing!! It is funny, my belly button was flat with P and now it isn't with this girl. Kinda funny that it was the same for you. Anyway, hang in there! You are doing great!
I'd have to echo a lot of that list. My 9th month of pregnancy was not my favorite to say the least... and I can identify with the wanting to exercise. I hate exercise, but it's so nice to have your body back to being just yours and being able to move the way you want to without discomfort! Good luck, I'll cross my fingers that he comes a few days (or weeks) early.
I just love ya! I'm soo excited for you! I can't wait to get to hold your sweet little boy :) Hope you start sleeping better at night!
I just went through those thoughts not too long ago! That's what I was thinking. Well, all except for the name thing. We already knew he was "Henry Jason Thomas."
Maybe pregnancy gets harder with each one just by nature of your body being older each time. I hope delivery gets easier. Mine was not easy (for me at least) and recovery has been a bear! I hope that K>>>> whatever his name is is born soon so that you can cuddle, cuddle and cuddle some more. That's one of the best things!
I'm thinking that if I were there, the list would be half the size it is! Cause I just have that affect on people! LoL I love you! You're doing great! Keep it up! And I'll send you some Aloha! =D
