Well, today I am officially 30 weeks pregnant and since baby boy Micheli is a scheduled c-section at week 39, that means I only have 9 more weeks to go! Part of me anxiously anticipates week 39 so that I can get my body back to "normal proportions" but also of course just to get to meet our little guy. Darrell and I wonder...."Will he look a lot like big brother Carter?" "Will this baby maybe have brown eyes instead of blue?" " Will this baby be a "good sleeper!?!?!" We are also anxious, yet nervous for big brother and how the new baby is going to dramatically effect his little life. The bottom line is, I know we are giving Carter the greatest gift we could ever offer him....a sibling, but a part of me still knows it will be a tough transition for him and hope that he will accept little brother with open arms. Now the part of me that is not so anxious for the next 9 weeks to pass is because this may very well be my last pregnancy. I kind of get sad thinking this maybe my last experience to carry a baby. Never say never, but we are pretty sure our family will be complete with our two little boys and a dog (says Darrell) in the near future!
I leave you all with this quote:
"Each time you look at your child you see something mysterious and contradictory--bits and pieces of other people--grandparents, your mate, yourself, all captured in a certain stance, a shape of a head, a look in the eyes, combined with something very precious---a new human soul rich in individuality and possibility.

Only 9 more weeks! Whoa that time went fast. I think you should secretly take belly shots and not post them. It will be good for YOU to remember what you looked like, even if you might not be ready to put it out there for everyone. :-)
