welcome december ~ 35 weeks

It's December 1st and I am 35 weeks pregnant!  I can't believe how fast everything is moving right now.  I feel like I am on a train that isn't stopping anywhere, it's just moving quickly but I am enjoying every minute of the ride.

week 35 and 35 days to go

I am really enjoying my third trimester.  Baby E is moving around so much and we're creating a stronger bond every single day.  Casey and I have installed the car seats, the nursery is ready, I am nesting and organizing like crazy.  Last on my list is to pack my hospital bag and continue to practice my patience and relaxation techniques.  I have been going to my chiropractor and have a prenatal massage today which has helped me feel wonderful.  My midwife says everything looks great and we are on our way for a healthy birth!  We only have two birthing classes left and we have learned so much.  In the meantime we are enjoying holiday traditions, dinner with friends, holiday shopping and walks with Brody in the cool Georgia air.

things I am realizing
I can't see my feet unless I bend way over
*see*

I wish I would have went to the chiropractor my entire pregnancy
My exercises have went from me staying in shape to getting ready for the birthing of baby E
The end of this amazing experience of being pregnant is coming to an end and it's been so awesome
I am glad I've lived every moment in the present during this process
I crave and want to make Christmas cookies every single day
My mommy friends are so amazing and supportive at giving me advice and being there for my silly questions
I laugh more now than I've laughed before - I think baby E has our sense of humors
I am more clumsy now than my usual clumsy self
People will open doors for me and let me go in front of them in lines at the grocery store just because of my belly ~ we should always be this nice
Strangers will tilt their head and give a happy, comforting smile with memory gazed eyes
I can't wait to hold our little boy in my arms

Enjoy December to the fullest as it's a month filled with faith, grace, joy, love and happiness.  Everything is possible, trust the process of life and enjoy every minute of it!
