As We Near the End...

As of today I am 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I have been progressing very nicely and baby Joe will soon be making his experience. This pregnancy has been simply amazing and very difficult at the same time. The hardest part about it has been being pregnant in the third trimester during the summer. Not only was it insanely hot and humid, but I also had 3 adorable, energetic children to care for who LOVE the outdoors. Needless to say, we weren't outside much unless the weather was breathable or someone else could take them out. That posed a few issues...As the cooler weather is embarking upon us and school is about to start, the days will become easier. Although I am not able to bend over, roll over, sit up, run, or really walk, and my hormones are so out of control that I don't know what my next emotion will be, I still love being pregnant. It is the most amazing feeling and state of being in the world. Baby Joe has been the least active of my pregnancies. He likes to tell me which side to sleep on at night. We have had so many opportunities to see him on ultrasound. I saw chubby cheeks and hair. The best part of being pregnant with Joe is how excited my husband and kids are to meet him. I feel like this is my first pregnancy without all of the worry.
I have been blessed with being surrounded and supported by many patient, caring, and loving people throughout my pregnancy. I can't thank you enough for all you have done for me!

Below are some pictures taken by a very good friend. Just a little something to capture the little miracle gorwing inside! Enjoy!
