I'm feeling like nine months is a really long time. We are very anxious for our little one to be here. I am gratefully not the stay puffed marshmellow man I was for my last pregnancy and everything is going well. Although I must say that I can definatley tell a difference between being pregnant at 21 and at 30. I don't know if thats just age or because I have 3 others to keep up with.
The baby has a very definate schedule. She kicks the most at 10 am and 10 pm. At yesterday's appointment Marshall got to measure my tummy and use the machine to find her heartbeat. The baby kept kicking the doplar so she couldn't guage her pulse. So we figured if she was kicking that much her heart rate must be sufficient.
My wacky pregnancy dreams are at full force. My personal favorite, I had quadruplets (wow what a suprise that would be) and I was trying to get them to go to sleep at the same time and I went in to check on them. Something was very wrong, they were turned into fluffy bunnies. The next thing I knew, they were teenagers.
Regardless of how excited we are, Im feeling very anxious about labor and delivery. It has been a while, so I'm a little rusty on coping methods, and I do remember how painful it is. My one saving grace is Ryan. He is amazing when Im in labor. He just seems to know exactly what I need ahead of time, and is able to provide so much relief. It will be interesting and exciting to see how this one will be different.

Are you seriously so small at 8 months, on your 4th baby?! You will do great in labor. I'm glad to hear that Ryan is such an awesome labor coach! You've done it 3 times... you are strong enough to do it again. Did you ever use a birthing ball? That was my fav with Ethan. Claire didn't give me enough time to "cope" as she was born 2hrs 45min after my water broke!
Hey you look fabulous. Actually I think you look better than me and I'm not pregnant anymore. I was nervous too, I keep thinking I wouldn't remember how. You will do great! It helped me to break the weeks down. I week to Halloween... stuff like that. Hope to see a baby for Thanksgiving. We love you!
You are a beautiful pregnant lady!!
Your dreams are hysterical though.
You look amazing even if you don't feel it!!Rub the belly once for me:)The misery at the end is natures way of making us willing to do ANYTHING to have it over with, even the pain. Hang in there.
