I read last night in What to Expect… that I have 8-10 weeks to go. OMG! Part of me is sooo excited to meet this little guy, but another part of me is suddenly kind of sad that the pregnant stage will be over. Maybe I won't feel that way in a few more weeks but for now I am really torn about the whole thing. I'm really getting fascinated and obsessed over the baby's position lately. I am still not really sure what's what in there -- I can just tell when it's different. I will have to get the doctor to give me the lay of the land next week at my appointment. Maybe if she shows me once where everything is I'll be able to figure it out when it changes.
I've got my house pretty much in order. Or as good as it's probably going to get for awhile. I will have to take a couple more pictures tonight maybe. Even the basement is in good shape. There are still some piles of random stuff here and there, but it looks pretty presentable. Now that all the "stuff" has been put away throughout the house, the task becomes getting everything CLEAN. I've never been real tolerant of the house being dirty, just messy. So we're doing pretty good on the obvious stuff. But lately I've been compelled to do things like wipe down walls and clean doorknobs, it's pretty wild. I suppose over the next 8-10 weeks I'll find lots of things in the house that suddenly need to be cleaned or dusted. It's invigorating!

I know what you mean. For weeks I've been telling my friends that I'm kind of worried that I'm going to miss her when she comes out. She's become such a part of my life. I'm always thinking about her. How weird to think it'll go back to being just me.
I mean, I know I'll have her on the outside, but I can't help thinking that is going to be a lot different...and a lot harder.
I can imagine why some people get the baby blues.
And people so lied to me about how hard pregnancy is. It's been such an amazing and joyful experience, at least so far. I just hope that I can say the same thing about labor when it's over, but I'm not holding my breath. :)
I was thinking the same thing about the baby blues. It's gonna be a little sad that he won't be with me ALL the time :( I'll have to relinquish some control I guess.
I agree about pregnancy too... I don't think I'll look back as one of those people who hated being pregnant. There are ups and downs for sure but for the most part it is very cool. And it seems like I have heard a LOT of people lately say that labor was FUN (amazing, joyful, etc). Especially people who did it naturally... so there you go.
