Oh when will this baby come?

I thought that with your second child, and this child only being 13months apart from your first, that you are supposed to give birth a lot sooner. Apparently, I left the memo that says "every pregnancy is different" back at the house in Kentucky.

I must say I am HUGE! I"m talking like big as a house HUGE! Way bigger than I was with Ellie. And it's really toilsome on me some days. I can't get into bed, out of bed, off the floor, or the couch, or a simple chair without stumbling. I look like my daughter trying to take her first steps (which she is.) And I hurt, all the time, I'm achy, and can't quite describe the tingling and sharp pinches I feel at where this baby is supposed to come out.

I get the weirdest contractions every time I am at church. I'm starting to think I just need to move into the church to make this baby come. Seriously, every week from the start of SS to the end of MW I get these severe intense contractions! Maybe it's my pregnant body's way of praising the Lord...lol. Who thought that giving Glory to God could cause so much pain....hmmm. I'm thinking I may have to tuck this story away for some speaking engagement I get to be apart of in the way distant future.

Anyways, I know that God's timing is always perfect and he will get this baby out when he deems to be the right time. I keep thinking that once I've got all my paperwork in for the new insurance, and once all the pictures are hung on the walls, and once the bathroom is clean and the entire house is spotless, and Zachary's crib is in place, and Ellie's clothes are put away, then little Zach will probably make his appearance.

I have many days like today when I say "oh God please don't make me wait until May to have this baby." And then at the same time I think of all that has yet to be done, yet to be planned, yet to do, and I say "...but I suppose if you wanted to hold it off for just a little longer then I could deal with that as well."

Oh the joys of being pregnant!

On another note, I really am just trying to soak up the moments that I get to have with just Ellie. She will soon no longer be the only child instead she will become the oldest child and her role will change. I think she knows that something is going on with her mommy's body, I'm sure that in some miraculous way she knows that things are really going to change. I just want her to know that she is loved and is not being replaced. So I am giving her extra grace during her whining fussy moments, extra love when she is being sinful and taking a lot of extra pictures of her.

I really love this girl!
