My Pregnancy Thoughts Tonight

Fetal Development Week 37
Today I am 36 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and still feeling strong!  Everyone keeps asking how I'm doing and oh I must be so uncomfortable, and I bet you can't wait to be done. But really I'm just trying to enjoy and soak up these last few weeks! Yes I have been more tired recently and I do have days where I'm not completely comfortable but for the most part, it's not a big deal, being pregnant is not that bad! I enjoy feeling my baby move, she's strong and tonight she's made me a little sore from kicking the same spot over and over but that's okay, it's all part of the experience! I am almost 37 weeks, and babies may be considered full-term at 37 weeks, but I know that every extra day she gets to develop inside me will pay off for her in the end. She's still growing and practicing breathing and sucking her thumb and all of those things she needs to do so that she is ready to face the world as strong as possible! I'm a planner and I love being in control of everything happening around me, but pregnancy has taught me how to let go and not be in control, it's really a good time to practice trust. I am trusting my body and God, that when the time is right labor will start and I will be able to handle it. Is it going to be easy? Probably not, but I'm not afraid of a little work and discomfort, especially when the end result is that I get to meet my baby girl!
