Today I am 39 weeks and 1 day. My due date is approaching this Sunday and I am just trusting this baby to be born when it is good and ready. If this baby is like Ignacio, it REALLY likes being close to mommy. I tend to have "kangaroo babies" meaning that, if I had pouch they would gladly jump in to be close. For now Angel and I (and Ignacio) continue to wait. We know that soon we will meet the next member of our family. I find myself not answering every phone call and reserving my energy for things that matter most. Because I don't know when I will have to bring this baby into the world I take every day to make sure I am fed, resting and hydrated.
Ignacio is so wonderful and patient with me right now. The baby is so low that walking is difficult so I spend much of the day sitting or laying down. He plays independently, lining up his stuffed animals to read to them or putting his animals in the train and pretending they are going to the pool. His imagination is phenominal and it is just as fun to watch his play from the couch than it is to watch good TV. He is getting to be a "big boy" and don't even think about calling him a baby! Every night he goes potty on the toilet "like papa" and is developing into a wonderful little independent person. I am so excited to share this next life experience with him. I know that having him by my side every day will bring joy and laughter...and some tears!
I continue to ask for blessings as I wait and am thankful for all the support and love being sent my way. Soon we will be four!!!!
