Delayed post from April

We had our big ultrasound scan yesterday and everything looks happy and healthy! My friend was the tech who did our scan so she told me that she saw something that was probably nothing but wasn't usually there, so I printed out the report this morning and the radiologist said it was just an extra like sac of amniotic fluid.  I think it might of been from the twin that we lost.  Either way, it's nothing and I'm so glad he's right on track in there!  I can't believe I might get to meet this little baby in the amount of time I've already been pregnant.  Hopefully he's not earlier than 2 weeks, but he can come when he wants, early or late.  And early only so long as he's completely finished cooking lol.  I can't wait to meet him.  I can feel him moving so much now and I love it!  When I'm lying in bed I'll feel him roll and my tummy will get hard on one side and then he'll roll again and it'll go soft.  He's super active and kicks, which both my husband and I can feel on the outside.  Me more than him because obviously I'm there more often and get an inside perspective, but he's felt him kick a few times.  I can't wait till we can play with him in there and really feel and see him moving.  It's the craziest most miraculous thing that's ever happened to me, physically and emotionally.  I don't know how I can love someone I've never met so much already.

On another note, we're moving in a month so I ned to start packing!  I won't be able to do the quick pack and unpack like I usually do this time.  I'm excited to finally have a room for the baby so I can start feeling like I'm getting ready.  We'll order his furniture soon and then I want to make the crib skirt and blankets that he'll use.  I also want to sew some cute fabrics onto the fronts of our plain white burp cloths.  I'm not really artsy or crafty, but I've found tons of stuff online that makes it look super easy, so I'm excited!  And a friend of mine is letting me come over and pick through all of her boy clothes.  Her son never even wore his newborn stuff because he was so big, so it's all like new, and she's kept them all for the last 4 years.  It was meant to be :)

I'm off to take my next set of belly pictures, so I have to go get ready!!

I guess it's about time for an update.  I have no idea why I go so far in between posts, but it's easy to do.     So, I'm 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant.  Everyday that gets closer to meeting my baby feels like a million years.  I know he's not ready to come out, and I LOVE being pregnant, but my impatience is starting to come out.  I'm just so ready to meet him and feel him in my arms from the outside.  It is bittersweet though.  Even though God has blessed us with this baby, I can't help but wonder if this will be the only and last time I get to be pregnant like this.  It makes me not ever want it to end.  I'll miss the tummy and being the only one who gets to know him and feel him move around.  I hope it happens again for us, but you just never know.  It's sad to think I wouldn't be able to ever experience this again. But at the same time, I'm so thankful for this little boy and I'm anxious to get to the next phase of watching him grow!  I can already tell he's going to be active since he never ever stops moving, even with his complete lack of room in there!  But I think it's close.  3 weeks ago I was dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced, and 1 week ago I was dilated to a 3 and 80% effaced.  I lost my mucous plug a few days ago and have noticed a lot more contractions since then, but none of them painful or anything.  He moves around during them and that's probably the most uncomfortable part.  He'll come out when he's ready and I'm completely ok with that though.  I've been off work for a little over 2 weeks now and it's nice to sit all day and put my feet up and feel everything he's doing.  I know the crying will be here soon, so I'm just enjoying the quiet :)  But I'm ready!
