full term!


so we made it! currently I'm 38 weeks along with Baby Werwai, but this photo was taken several weeks ago, at 36 weeks. We're feeling all the feelings around here and trying our best to wait patiently. 

up until these last few weeks, I had been feeling really good and had lots of energy but I've definitely noticed a shift in the last little while. We're nearing the end and my body is feeling it. 

That being said, I'm enjoying these last few days and weeks of getting ready for baby, giving in to a few last pregnancy cravings (potato salad and radishes anyone..?) and trying not to worry about all the last minute details. It feels to me like giving birth and becoming a mother are things you can't really fully prepare for, but that's not stopping me from deep cleaning baby's room (again), filling up our freezer with meals, and packing (& re-packing) our birthing bag... 

baby, we're as ready for you as we'll ever be. 

can't wait to hold you in our arms.

  1. Oh this is so exciting! Try to rest as much as you can if I may advice you. Those last weeks are heavy and exciting all together. I wish you all the best, that you may have a great delivery and a healthy baby! I'll be thinking of you! You can do it!
