Thoughts on Becoming a Family of Five
The Pregnancy Diaries
It’s official! I’m now rounding the last two weeks (or shorter!) of my third pregnancy and everyone in my family is on “baby watch.” The final countdown has begun, and soon my tight-knit little family of four will expand. Today, as I write my last “pregnancy diaries” blog, I’d like to share my thoughts on becoming a family of five.
First of all, let me tell you how crazy it is to think about welcoming a new little angel baby into our home and family in just a few short weeks. We’ve talked and talked and talked about a third baby, been through the longest pregnancy in the history of pregnancies (okay, not the longest…but it certainly feels that way with as sick as I’ve been!), and the kids have been counting down the days since we told them they were going to be a new big sister and big brother (which has been since Christmas). And that time is now. It’s HERE.
I wonder what it will be like holding a new baby girl…because we’ve been such a close little family of four for years now.
Things to Do Before Baby Arrives Checklist
The Pregnancy Diaries…
The third trimester. UGH. The THIRD trimester. All of you mamas know what I’m talking about. The trimester that seems to last 3,000 days. And here I am, smack dab in the middle of it – 36 weeks and counting – which inspired this things to do before baby arrives checklist post!
There’s something about hitting that 36th week that inspires major excitement (and minor panic) – baby is coming – SOON!!!!
Which means there are lots of things to do before baby arrives. Gulp.
