I was just looking at my calendar and realizing I had lost count of how many weeks pregnant I am. I had to write it in there every week so I could just look at the calendar to remember how far along I was (almost 36 weeks in case you're wondering). Now I'm counting down more than up really anyway! I'm scheduled for my c-section on August 23rd at noon. Yay!
I remember back about 15 weeks ago when I filled in the dates all the way to 40 weeks and it seemed like such a long time away. I couldn't bring myself to do it much before then in fear that I would have to go back and erase it out of my calendar as I had done before. Up until then I had only filled it in a couple weeks at a time so I would not get too far ahead of myself making plans and hoping that everything was going to turn out OK. I guess everything happens in the time that it is supposed to and it has taken me over a year to figure that out.
It is much easier for me to say that now of course since I am only a little over 3 weeks away from actually having the baby. It seems like now that I am getting right down to it, it still doesn't seem quite real yet. You would think my enormous body would remind me constantly of that but I guess not! It's not like this is the first baby I am having either so I'm not really sure why I am feeling that but I guess you can never really be fully "ready" can you?
We have so many changes coming up in the next couple months (baby, trying to sell our house and moving to a totally new city) and I think I have just learned to go along with whatever comes along. I guess being in a military family, you kind of have to. I am learning to not worry about the things that I have no control over and just focus on what I do have control over and that is getting this baby here healthy and keeping Brady happy and Aaron too. The rest will work itself out!
I'm not sure why I'm thinking about all of this right now but I guess that's kind of how the last bit of pregnancy is. It brings out all the thinking and trying to plan ahead. Too bad I also have pregnancy induced stupidity so often and I don't get too far! Oh well, who needs plans anyway?
So, that's what's going on here for now........much more exciting things to come soon!

I know how you feel with the whole not getting a head of yourself. YOu are doing great and before you know it this little guy will be here.
Oh man, I didn't know you all were moving. Where to? When? That's a bummer you have to sell the house---hopefully it'll go well. If not, we're renting ours out...we could recommend our property manager or one of Rodney's DM coworkers who do that thing. And I wanted to say that I"m the same way. I've never been one to love change...I hate it. I'm trying to learn-reteach myself to just lay back and relax through the whole military and life process of things. It's hard and I struggle. Alot. But there are moments when I surprise Rodney or others close to me with my "whatever happens, happens" attitude. haha Good luck in the next few weeks!
