Ready to Pop!

This picture was taken at 36 weeks. I will admit that I have definitely gained a little weight since then. Not to mention our little Grace has weaseled her way down into birthing position making my stomach much more elongated. We are sitting at 38 weeks and 3 days right now and I am so excited I could bust. However, I finally understand what everyone meant when they said that in the end I will be so ready to NOT be pregnant. Aside from my 9 months of morning sickness I would say that I have had a fairly easy pregnancy which I am thankful for. Recently though things have gotten a little rougher. Grace has very little room left in there but that hasn't stopped her from trying desperately to stretch out. I can not tell you the number of times I have an arm poking me one direction and her foot digging into my rib cage at the same time. Plus she is much stronger now then she was even just two weeks. I have caught myself saying ouch out aloud a number of times without thinking about it. People in stores often give me weird looks when this happens. I can't even get started on sleeping. I toss and turn for about 30 minutes just trying to find a comfortable position and just when I have settled down for a "nights rest" little one decides she's going to move, often causing me to toss and turn for another 20 minutes or so. Napping would be nice but since everyone is so freaking hyped up on baby watch I can't get more then an hour a day without a text or call. Not that I mind much but if I don't answer right way it's because I am asleep not because I am in labor no need to keep calling. I promise to let everyone know when the eviction notice has been posted and Grace is on her way out! If you haven't gotten a text, a call or it's not on Facebook it hasn't happened. :-) Although believe me NO ONE is more ready to meet this little girl more then Me and her Daddy! So stay posted it's coming ANY DAY NOW!!!
