2nd Pregnancy-37.5 Weeks

I have reached that point:

*When my arms go numb all the time
*When I can't fit my feet in my crocs due to swelling
*When I wonder if not-cranky-Lindsey will ever come back
*When I can't remember not having a belly
*When even maternity clothes are getting a little snug
*When I have to take naps or chug down a diet coke to function.
*When I'm wondering, "Why isn't this baby coming?"
*When I'm wondering, "Am I even ready to have another kid?"
*When I'm wondering, "Will I love her as much as Kaleb?"
*When one of my first thoughts of the day is, "What can I do to put myself in labor today?"
*When EVERYONE is asking how much longer I have.
*When this baby stretches to the point I fear a scene from Aliens will be reenacted
*When... this whole pregnancy thing... is no longer fun!


As of 6 days ago (my last doc appointment), still no signs of labor, and I'm kind of disappointed. Everybody keeps wondering what's my big hurry, and primarily my biggest fear is having to get enduced (because my body just doesn't do what it's supposed to) or having a C-Section (cuz we wait till the baby is too big to push out.) Another worry is that Ammon's brother Rylan is coming home from his mission on the 14th, and I really want to have us all go to the airport to welcome him. Since Kaleb was a week early, I got my hopes up that this one would be just a little earlier, and that would give me some time to recoup. Now it's hard to imagine that this is even a possibility. Leave it me to worry about things I can't really change.

We had a little photo shoot with Kaleb and the belly last week, and this is my favorite. Our little boy loves babies so much, and we are SO excited for him to be a big brother!!
