I continue to be sick with the lovely nausea all day everyday and add intensified heartburn to that and the 3rd trimester of no energy and you have a beautiful combo of YUCK! What is SWEET is that I have been thriving well and able to continue my job at full capacity as a wife, mom, along with my role in ministry as well thanks to the Lord's strength that is INDESCRIBABLE. While I am looking forward to the arrival of baby girl or baby boy soon, I am thoroughly content and thankful for this season of pregnancy.
Speaking of content, I have zero expectation of when this little one will arrive. I am prepared for the worst case scenario which is a week after my due date and if that is what the Lord wills, I am okay with that! At this point, I can say that this pregnancy feels SO similar to Jayden's it's crazy. Baby is SUPER SUPER low, head down, and belly is tight as ever. I had a sudden POP that felt significant a couple of weeks ago in the size of my stomach and I remember the same thing happening when I was pregnant with Jayden in those final weeks. At my 36.5 week appointment I was 1.5 cm dilated, 75% effaced.
I can say that over the last few weeks it FINALLY hit me in a crazy exciting way that we will soon have that SURPRISE moment of knowing if we are actually having a boy or a girl. I AM SO EXCITED! This is definitely a feeling of anticipation that is well worth the wait of not knowing.
