35 Weeks
I find this point in pregnancy rather contradictory. On one hand, I feel like I’ve been pregnant forever and will continue to be pregnant forever, and on the other I’m starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel as I gather birth supplies and consider the logistics of having a new little person in our family. I’m looking forward to not feeling so huge and awkward, but I’m also constantly remembering that even with all that, the baby is a lot easier to take care of this way than after he or she is born! I become officially eligible for a homebirth on May 10th, and while I don’t expect to give birth for probably another month after that, it shows just how close I’m getting to the end of this pregnancy.
I guess that means we should probably figure out a name for this little one and dig out the baby clothes from storage, don’t you think?

I’m so looking forward to meeting this new Vanderpol! And to see the responses from Gregory and Emma. What fun. And yes, it will get busy. Sometimes I wonder if that’s why human pregnancies are designed to be nine months. By the time the little one arrives, mom is feeling so cumbersome and ungainly that she is ready (or almost!) for those night feedings and busy days!
Glad you got to get your hands into the electrical side of the house. I can imagine how much fun that was for you. Keep dreaming of all the fun family memories that you will be creating in this wonderful home of yours!
