I have really enjoyed being pregnant. I love laying down and watching my belly move around. It's like a little chick is trying to break out of it's egg. Today, the baby and I had a nice talk. I told him/her that the can come out soon, but he/she needs to try and not hurt me. We'll see how that goes. I have to make a conscience effort NOT to waddle when I walk. Plus bending over is getting more and more difficult. but I do my best.
Right now I think I'm int he panic part of the pregnancy. I am just feeling a little unprepared. I am going to the hospital tomorrow so I can look into birthing class and get a packing list for what we will need for the hospital. Josh just ordered the coming home outfit which I can't wait to see (it's a surprise to me)and the church is throwing a baby shower the first weekend in June. I think I will feel better once we have a pack and play just so I know that the baby has a place to sleep. A dresser crib and rocker would be nice, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
I love my belly and I love the person inside of it but I didn't want to gross people out with my belly. But now that all of you are not a drive away, I thought maybe you'd like to see. Plus I want to know if you guys think I am having a boy or girl.

Cute! It's a boy.
Hi Corrie,
We are so excited for you and Josh and we cannot wait to meet your new little guy or girl =)
Childbirth classes will definitely put your mind at ease because you will learn more about what to expect during labor and delivery. Just remember that labor and delivery are all about what works for YOU and makes YOU comfortable, not what is convenient for the doctors and nurses. Ask lots of questions! If you are looking for a list of what to bring to the hospital, you can Google it and you will find plenty of links. I can also try to come up with a list of what we brought with us since it wasn't that long ago =)
The "pregnancy panic" is completely normal, but don't worry - you will do great. It's all about your mindset. I went into labor and delivery with the mentality that it's not meant to be a comfortable, pleasant experience but that delivering naturally is what was best for my baby girl - though there is no shame in having an epidural if you feel like you need it. I wanted it but by the time I decided I needed it - TOO LATE! =(
I hope you're doing well. Get as much rest as you can. You will need it! =) We miss you all and love you! God bless.
P.S. I think it's a girl!!!
