It's kind of a bittersweet moment! This has been the LONGEST 9 months of my life, but it's incredible to think that I just grew a baby. I started filling out his baby book and just smiled the whole time. Writing down the life story of his mommy and daddy. Skipping pages that will be filled out once he's born and we know about him. Knowing that any day I will be able to look into his eyes and he will look back. Working with Kyle to raise this little guy. We are going to be PARENTS. What a huge responsibility. But I can't wait. :)
The hospital bags are all packed. The carseat is installed. His clothes are all washed. Everything is ready for his arrival. We are just waiting now. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon and she said they would "probably" check me for dilation/effacement. I've been having tons of aches and pains lately. Plenty of contractions. Sharp, burning pains that apparently indicate that he's moving down. Hip/pelvic pain. It is unbelievable how uncomfortable the last month is. No matter what you do, there's no relief. The good part is, I'm used to it and welcome it. I don't really complain about it anymore, just suck it up and get excited that it's getting so close. :) I did have a horrible headache/migraine over the weekend that made me cry because I was just so done with it. It's one of those things where it's like, "Ok, this is old. Let's just be done, ok?" I know I'm getting there, though. Just a short while longer! I've also felt sick to my stomach and was in the bathroom part of the night last night. Whatever. :P
Ok, so I know you're all excited to see his room! I'm so excited about it, especially knowing that it's DONE! I apologize in advance for the heavy number of pictures. It's just one of those things where you step back and admire all the work you've put in. So here it is! Baby Kirby's nursery...
