stick a fork in her....

cuz she's done!!!

Here we are. The end of another pregnancy. Its hard to believe that this is my 4th and final time doing this. At least its my plan to be done with this stage of life. I'd love to have 5 kids but I honestly can NOT do another pregnancy. Its was just too much on everybody. I have been taught, repetitively, that my plans don't really matter or mean much. But I hope it holds true in this case. Being pregnant 4 times has been something I'll forever be thankful for but Im excited at the idea of not doing it again.

This has been the best ending to a pregnancy that I've ever had. The worst pregnancy, by far, but the best send out. Even amidst the heat of a Colorado Summer I have been fairly content and energized. The energy fades literally every single day but I am still getting things done. Life with 3 little one's cant slow down a whole lot so in most cases I havent got a choice.

I have had several friends who were due before me, the last of which has had her baby this past weekend. Thats a strange place to be... next! But I am excited. I cant wait to meet her and her Siblings are just as thrilled, if not more, than I.

My Mom and Dad come into town in 3 days, which takes a lot of stress off. I have prayed that this baby would wait until they were here and not think about coming any earlier. Just for simplicity and stress' sake. So I am even more convinced that we'll make it. I think August 1st will be a great day to be born!!!


these last few days of being pregnant are the worst for pictures. Big, big, big!!! But I had to get one last one in... for posterity.

I cannot believe you have made it to this point. I am happy for you though. My last pregnancy was so hard it is why I just cannot make myself do it again...yet. We will see after the next one. I cannot wait to see your little girl. I am glad your parents get there soon :) Love you.
