37 weeks!

Finally 37 weeks and finally considered full-term! Great, now he can come any time and really be able to survive out here. Which is great because I am very ready to get this boy out of here, ready to be a single human being again and not housing another inside. I love my little alien, but I would much rather love him out here than through my stomach. Then again, it is nice knowing he is right there with me and safe all the time. That certainly gives me some peace of mind. But I'm very over the pain every time I sit down, or get up from lying down for a little while or from a night of rest. Ready for the constant pain in my pelvis and ribs to go away. Also just getting very excited for my boy to arrive soon. Glad it's finally November.
So, now I'm just trying to get everything else done and ready for his arrival. Hopefully I can get that all out of the way quickly. I also need to get my bag all packed for the hospital since I will be making my trip there in the next three weeks or so. I'm still figuring out who all I need to call when the day comes, who I actually want to call. Considering making some changes to certain plans, but we'll see how I really feel about those things when the time comes. I'm trying hard not to start stressing too much, or at all. Doing a pretty good job, for the most part. It definitely helps having some certain people around.
I've been becoming a little more upset about changes with my body. More things looking, well, less than ideal lately. I definitely miss my old body, which I was actually quite happy with. I guess this is just one of those things you have to deal with in these situations. And, while it bothers me, I still feel it is more than worth it because now I'm going to have this little boy who's already finally made my life feel like it's worth living. He's my reason. But, I am very ready and excited to get him out and begin my work to getting my body back to how it was, and hopefully even somewhat better than before.
Aside from discomforts and not being so proud of my body these days, I am still very happy. Truly happier than I think I have been in my entire life. And, this time it doesn't feel like I'm just fooling myself, it feels more real than ever. I feel like I'm coming out a real winner. I'm so happy with the way things are going lately. Just about everything in my life seems just right, and the things that really seem just right kind of make up for those other things that don't. I'm really just loving life these days. It's completely indescribable.

Jeez, this is getting repetitive, but I mean it every time! I love you, steph. You are such an amazing person, an amazing woman, and you will be an amazing mama! I am so glad, so blessed, to be able to call you my sister. Love you, love you, and I love that little baby of yours, too! Can't wait to finally meet him. He'll be here so soon!!!
