Well, I am supposed to have a baby this week... wow. It feels so super surreal. I've been feeling her kick, grow and hiccup. Soon I'll be seeing and hearing her do all those things. I was thinking about the things I'll miss most about pregnancy:
-Feeling her kick. It is amazing to know she is alive and mobile. I love to see a little protruding hand or elbow (those ones kind of hurt) or a little foot. Course I have had some creepy dreams about her kicking through my belly button and me actually seeing a little hand or foot- won't miss those dreams.
-Trying to figure out what body-part is contorting my stomach: a bum, a back, an elbow? It is so fun!
-Constantly thinking about her getting enough food, or not being over-exercised. I am sure there will be many other thoughts and concerns to replace those, when she comes out.
-Watching my tummy grow as she grows.
-Feeling her hiccups.
-Hearing her heartbeat at the Dr.
-Reading about her development on whattoexpect.com
-Watching my husband's excitement as he feels her kick my tummy.
-The constant care and effort put forth by my husband to make sure I'm comfortable and don't have any needs. Course he did that before I was prego- hopefully that stays:)
This pregnancy has been wonderful and exciting. I thank God for what I've experienced the last 9 months and what I will yet experience for the eternities. So Norah, we're excited for you to come. Feel free to come whenever you're ready!

only one question - what if she doesn't look like a Norah? I love the name. :) You know I do.
I'm so excited to meet her! Let me know when she comes and when you are ready for visitors!
Wow. I can not BELIEVE that your baby is coming already!!! Good luck with the au naturel birth. Let me know how it goes! I love your guts!
If she doesn't look like a Norah... we only have one other name option. Uh oh.
So... I thought that there wasn't going to be an "h" on the end :) :) I see there was a compromise :) We hope that everything goes well this week and are so excited for you guys. Can't wait to see pictures of her.
There's one thing I've always loved about you...your optimism! You are so amazing that you enjoyed your pregnancy. I, on the other hand sadly was not a big fan. But the aftermath is certainly worth all the pain, torture, suffering...the list goes on :) love yer guts...literally! I love you and I love Norah and I love Brian for loving you! Wow...longest comment ever!
