You're still here?

Yep! No baby yet. This pregnancy has been crazy with my emergency appendectomy, headaches, a broken toe, a condition that caused me to have ultrasounds every 2 weeks at Methodist, moving out of the cabin, moving into our house, moving out of our old house, remodeling Bethany's room, changing daycare, moving Bethany into a big girl bed, back pain etc.

With our due date just days away, it just goes to show that every pregnancy is different! I think it could be for a number of different reasons and here are a few...

- I've done it before. Now that I have gone through this, I'm paying much more attention to warning signs and being more careful about doing too much (not going on 20+ mile bike trips without a cell phone for example)
- We have a Sleep Number bed. I know Dan works for Select Comfort so this may seem like a shameless plug, but I seriously sleep soooo much better than I did before we got the bed. Since our bed arrived the day my water broke with Bethany I didn't get the benefit of sleeping on it last pregnancy, but this time it has been wonderful!
- I'm a Type A personality. Because I want to be able to plan for everything, God must have wanted to keep my on my toes with a 5 week early baby and now a full-term (or past!) baby this time. It has been so strange trying to plan for a 7 week time period that I may be out on leave for work.
- This baby is going to be laid back. Bethany was ready to face the world early and that fits her personality now, so maybe this baby will be different.

So, baby girl, I'm learning a lot about myself during this process and about you! We can't wait to meet you and although I'd love some sort of message telling me exactly when that will be, I will be patiently waiting.
