Getting to the End

Travis wanted to know more about how I'm feeling, at least she thinks she does. Right now I'm on my second cold in 3 or so weeks, so it's hard to breathe through my nose and I can't take much. My blood pressure is high and every week I get to have an NST. My ultrasound last week (at 36 weeks 3 days) showed the baby weighing 8 lbs 2 oz. So, needless to say, I'm so ready to have this baby. If you've ever been pregnant, you can probably relate that at the end it's easier to face to "trouble" of a newborn than the "trouble" of a pregnancy. I put trouble in quotation marks because both are blessings, but at times they have ways of reminding you of your human limitations. I'm looking forward to meeting this child and seeing what she or he looks like. The ultrasound showed hair, which was exciting because both Aubrey and Cameron were bald babies. I've never had an ultrasound this late, so maybe any little bit of hair shows up, who knows, but it gave me something else to look forward to. Ryan's getting a little worried about how we are going to handle three kids, but I keep telling him we just do it. I don't really know how we are going to juggle three either, but I'm so ready for the baby to come that I don't let myself think about such things. I have my next doctor's appointment tomorrow at 1:00, so hopefully we can set a date for induction! This would make me a very happy woman!
