35 weeks

I decided to do a recap of the beginning of my pregnancy to the near end.I am amazed by the changes a woman's body goes through in order to accommodate enough room for her little baby. It is a beautiful thing and truly a miracle.

Since every Dr's apt each week seems to bring new unexpected surprises I decided I had better post more frequent belly shots in case I deliver early. I can't believe how much I have grown in the last 5 weeks. I feel like my skin can't possibly stretch anymore. And my belly button is no longer a belly button. Just a straight slit across my stomach. Even my face is swollen and fat. I feel like I am carrying a monster in my stomach. Not to mention I feel like I have lost every ounce of muscle I have worked so hard for the last few years. Despite that I am still surprisingly enjoying this last part of pregnancy. We waited so many years to get here that I just don't want to take any of it for granted.

I am realizing how much us Mom's sacrifice for the sake of our little ones. Being down all day has left me a little bummed out and I have been eating SO MUCH. I feel like I am starving all the time. It's going to be a long journey back to pre- baby but I will get there! I hope....
