Pregnancy Highs, Lows, and the Borning Parts In Between

This pregnancy has just been so funny for me. I wanted to have another baby SO badly but was still totally surprised when I found out I was. I was on a definite pregnancy high for the first six months where I just loved that I was expecting. Then I hit the third trimester and started thinking, "Aaah!!! What have I done?". I became nervous about the reality of the possibility of having ecclampsia again.

Well, now I'm past the point of being too nervous and am just bored. I am far enough along and have prepared everything that I wanted to for James' arrival that I am no longer concerned about anything happening health wise or the baby coming early. In fact, I desperately hope he does come before July 25 (which means he definitely won't). I keep trying to remind myself that I need to enjoy this time of my life, and I am, but I really want this baby to get here. I hate the waiting game.

So I guess there is a disadvantage to being prepared :). Did you have everything ready before Connor was born? I hope that these next few weeks go by quickly!

I was planning on getting everything ready for Connor to come when I went on maternity leave but ended up getting sick and having him just a few days after my leave started. It drove me crazy to not feel prepared for him...I guess thinking about that helps me cope with the boredom in my life right now.
