The Waiting Game...

This has got to be the hardest part of pregnancy for me. I hang out at the house, doing chores like mad, running all the insignificant minor and silly errands I can think of (like "oh, I gotta' take this pair of socks to the Goodwill" and "I need to go to town for chocolate milk") to keep myself distracted from the fact that I am essentially just waiting to be kicked in the gut. I told Levi that's what it feels like, I am like a five year old waiting for "Christmas" except "Christmas" is like having your insides pulled out. It's a weird kinda' waiting. I don't know when but at any minute I could go and it's killing me!! So I've been looking back at the blog posts I did prior to Lincolns birth and because I love you all so much here's one that gave me a chuckle... I am sure you'll remember it once you press that little play button :0) Turns out Levi is a great distraction! So no labor yet but Julie thinks it will happen this weekend or early next week. She did another ultrasound on Tuesday (my uterus hasn't been growing and she wanted to make sure the fluids were okay and Mr. placenta is working correctly) and baby brother (still his unofficial name) is great and content and growing just fine. He's hiding half of his 7 lb, 3oz body in my rib cage but that's okay he is super healthy and you could see his hair floating in the goo. Julie even said he reached down and grabbed her hand while she was doing the exam... a little alien-ish if you ask me! This whole pregnancy thing is SO odd sometimes!! A little person is in my belly! And last night he kicked Linc in the head while he contently sat reading Bible stories before bed time. Linc just turned around and said "Baby Brother!" and then lifted my shirt and put HIS blanky on my tummy... it was pretty sweet. He gave baby brother kisses and snuggles (momma and daddy too) and then he was off to sleep. I can't wait for brother to get here!
