I think at my last appointment, my doctor, realized my body (or emotional well being) can't make it till August. My non-pregnancy symptoms (R.A) have gotten much worse, and on Monday while picking up Cannon, we are pretty sure I tore a stomach muscle. Pathetic, I know! I look like a fool, because I literally carry my stomach around!
Anyway, my understanding doctor moved my date up one week, to July 31st! Even though it is 7 days, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I feel like I can actually make it till then. Although this brings a huge physical relief, it shortens my "getting ready" time by a week! So this weekend we have been starting/finishing projects. Painting the room. Buying fabric for bedding. Moving Cannon's clothes and other belongings into his and Brenna's room. Washing baby clothes. Solidifying my mom's travel arrangements (hooray!) And the list continues...
So I have almost 12 days, 10 if you don't count the Sabbath, because I will definitely REST! Whether or not I finish my to-do list before she comes, doesn't really matter. I am ready to meet her, hold her, see Cannon in his new big brother role, give Brenna her sister. Holding the little newborn makes all of the pain and struggle with pregnancy worth it. I am trying very hard to appreciate this pregnancy, so I won't forget how amazing it is. 12 more days... It will go too fast!
