Isaac kissing his baby brother in mama's tummy.38 weeks! Wow, I cannot even believe I am already 38 weeks, the time has flown by, but I definitely feel 38 weeks pregnant! A friend told me when I was pregnant with Isaac to be sure and enjoy it because the second time is not near as great. I thought she was crazy, there's no way, pregnancy is such a beautiful miracle! Well, she was right. I mean, it is still a beautiful miracle, but it is harder to enjoy it the second time when you are chasing around a toddler and you cannot relax when you want/need to. Well, though it's been tough at times I really cannot complain too much, I have been blessed with a good pregnancy and a sweet toddler to chase around. I love feeling the baby move, and I will definitely miss that when the pregnancy is over; it is so amazing to feel him kick and wiggle and realize that there really is a little baby inside of me! Wow, how incredible is our God that He makes that happen!
I had an ultrasound about a week and a half ago, everything looked good, and the Doctor said I have a peanut...yay! They guessed at that point that he was 5 pounds 3 oz, and that I would deliver a 6-7 pound baby. Yay! Isaac was 6 pounds 15 oz, so hopefully this little guy will be about the same size, no bigger. =) I am hoping he'll come early, but as we all know Isaac was a week late, so even though I'm hoping and keep telling him he can come, I'm not counting on it. We'll see though, every pregnancy is different, right!?!
I am so anxious to meet our newest son, to introduce he and Isaac, and to hold him in my arms. Even though there are tough days and pregnancy is sometimes a big pain, I wouldn't trade it for anything, every second is worth it, and I am completely thankful for the chance to carry this baby for nine months. What an honor it is that God trusts us with His children.
Pregnancy is beautiful, but nothing is more beautiful than holding a newborn baby. Can't wait to meet him! Of course, don't hesitate to call if you need anything.
