More Baby Ramblings

It seems like all I have to talk about right now is how we are anxiously awaiting our newest family member. I apologize, but I also know that from here on out all of my posts will probably be about Daniel. I do like that it's a way to document things I wouldn't normally write down though, and I can keep family and friends who are far away informed of what's going on.

It finally really hit Jacob tonight. It's been a joke for months now that I had to stay pregnant until after the musical was over. Well, as of 4:00 this afternoon it's over! I held my end of the bargain. (I suppose really God and Daniel held that end of the bargain, but I'd like to think I had something to do with it.)

I went to the 2nd performance and then came home while Jacob stayed to do clean up and the cast party. When he got home we were talking and he said now that it's over it actually dawned on him that he's going to be a daddy very soon! I think for me, even though that reality has always been there (at least since I started feeling movement), that it sunk in a week or two ago.

I also told Jacob how it drives me crazy that people always comment on how small I look. It's so stupid, I know! I'm glad I'm not huge, but I told him I feel like people don't believe me when I say that I'm in pain and feel like I'm ready to burst! He told me they're just jealous that I still look really skinny. Ha ha! I've for sure gained plenty of weight, and I'm really hoping that I shed it fairly quickly.

But yes, I do feel ready to burst. My child is probably a black belt in karate already. He kicks and kicks and kicks while I'm sitting and lying down. His little body parts protrude out of my stomach! He also doesn't seem to like to be confined. I say that he hates seat belts and he really hates me wearing jeans too. I'm over it. Sweatpants it is for this girl! It will be very interesting to see what he is like outside of the womb. It makes me wonder if he'll hate being swaddled?

Anyway...fingers crossed for a baby this week! I know. I know. He'll come when he's ready. A girl can hope though.
