Behold... The Belly!

34 weeks!!

Holy crap, I can't believe I'm at 34 weeks already! In three weeks the little man is considered term and if I went into labour the doctors wouldn't try and stop it. Not that I'm delusional enough to think he'll actually appear early or on time.

It's funny, throughout every phase of this pregnancy I've looked so forward to the time that I can relax and really 100% believe I'm going to holding my little babe in my arms come April, and even now I'm not there. I just want to hold him in my arms and be able to look into his eyes and know he's okay. Being pregnant is so odd, I mean, how much closer can I get to my baby then to him being in my uterus? But yet I can't see him and I just have to trust most of the time that he's doing alright.

But if his movements are any indication, he's doing just great. He's still very active, and now big enough (about 5 pounds!!!) that there's not so many kicks, but I can see my stomach move when he does. Sometimes it hurts, but I love it. There is no better feeling in the world than to sit and feel and watch him move. He responds to touch and sound, and both Mike and I love to talk to him and laugh when he pushes our hands. I am 100% smitten with this little man whom I've never seen but has changed my life in so many ways already.
