Well, I have officially made it longer this pregnancy than I ever did with Dallen, so I can do no further comparisons of pregnancies from here on out. Other than the kidney stones that I have been carrying around since week 25, I have been such a content little pregnant lady. I am patiently awaiting the arrival of this little girl and I am so excited that she could be joining our family any day now. So these are my final thoughts:
*Most days I still feel pretty good!! I don't remember being this comfortable the first time around (other than the intermittent kidney pains) and am so happy.
*My appetite stayed generally normal the whole time. My biggest craving was the same with both pregnancies: cheeseburgers!! Mark is happy to oblige my weekend requests for In-N-Out or Five Guys :) Unlike the first time, in the beginning of this pregnancy I craved fresh fruits and bagels but now I am back to my norm of Kit Kat bars and french fries.
*My weight gain has been drastically different, 68 pounds versus 30. This time my doctor high fived me when I made it through the first trimester with only 5 pounds gained and congratulated me at my last appointment for still having ankles at this point!
*Sleeping has not been totally bad. I have to wake up at least twice to empty my bladder and Dallen still wakes me up every once in a while, but I can usually go right back to sleep. Turning my belly over in bed though is getting really heavy and is quite the process in the middle of the night :)
*Its been nice to make it past 37 weeks this time around because I feel so much more prepared. I was able to pack a suitcase for the hospital this time. Although with Dallen, he came so early I never had a chance to get scared, this time the waiting has me teriffied. More time to realize what is happening and get my nerves going. I am using these last days to get as "prepared" as I can around the house, this waiting game of anticipation has me going crazy!! A couple more days or a couple more weeks and baby girl will be here, so exciting :)

It's one of those sweet 'n sours, this waiting game we are both playing isn't it?!! Today, tomorrow, three days, two weeks....who knows?! :)
Oh, I can't wait! After today - I am ready to fly down when you call me! You look great! Just remember it will only hurt for a little while and then you forget again! You CAN DO IT!
I can't believe my little niece is almost here! It truly breaks my heart in two that I won't be able to be there when she's born (but I'm pretty sure no one wants me having a baby on a plane!) haha! Good luck sister and you look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
So glad that this has been such a wonderful pregnancy for you, now come on baby girl!! ;) Sure love you {and what you did with your chair, awesome! haha}
You are adorable! Can't wait for little lady to get here! The chair you redid looks amazing!!
