37 weeks = Full Term =)

I'm officially FULL TERM! 

Throughout this pregnancy I have really tried to enjoy it to the fullest. However, I will not lie... these last three months have been tough. 

I have never before actually "felt" this pregnant. 

Uncomfortable really isn't the best word to describe my body at this point. I'm not sure if it's because this is 4th time around, that I'm carrying a girl, or maybe it is just that I have 3 other kids that need my attention and that requires a lot of my body and energy.  Maybe it is a combination of all three of these reasons. 

Haiden's pregnancy: Easy as pie! I loved being pregnant and couldn't understand why people complained so much.

Kailey's pregnancy: Much more uncomfortable then the first. I realized that as for me personally, I carry boys with ease.  She drifted low very quickly. I had moments where my legs would cramp or a nerve would be pitched, but still I managed and thought... "I don't mind being pregnant, just maybe not being pregnant with girl is my favorite." 

Logan's pregnancy: We pretty much could guess it was a boy because of how I was feeling which was not bad at all. It was pretty much an easy pregnancy. What made that pregnancy hard was going through Michael's clinicals near the end.  I found myself very pregnant with 2 little people that I had to take of while Michael was away often, which was not the easiest. 

Baby #4: Well, we were thinking it was girl bc of how I was feeling.. which was uncomfortable. ;) I have had a ton more back and leg pain than I had with Kailey. She has been super low for the past 4 months. We have stairs in our house now which lead to our bedrooms and those stairs make me feel like I'm worthless. It is SO hard to manage up those things when I feel a ton of weight so low. I literally have to make a "nest" in our bed at night and it is so hard getting up from a sitting postion. Then I get up to 3 super energetic kids, which does not make me feel any better. haha 

In spite of this honesty, I look back and I do feel like I have at least made the best of this pregnancy. For the past 4 months, I have tried to keep good thoughts in my mind when all I really wanted to do was complain. I'm not sad that it is coming to an end though.  I am very excited to be full term! I feel like my body has been through a traumatic change like I have never felt with any of our other pregnancies. 

My body is ready to see how life will be with 4 kids. 

I feel so blessed to have been able to have these blessings in our life. I'm so thankful for Michael and all that he does for us.  He is a great husband and Dad. Even if four kids seem overwhelming at times, I know Michael and I can do it together. 

I will be praying for a safe labor and delivery for our newest addition and myself. I hope and pray all goes well! =)
