Third Trimester
Tuesday night I went to the hospital for the maternity tour. It makes my due date look so much nearer. I feel a mixture of nervous and excited. My baby shower is in a couple weeks and then I will be able to pack our hospital bags. How close it all feels now! I woke up the following morning mentally packing my hospital bag. Everything I have left to do to get ready for the baby’s arrival is pretty last minute stuff. I'm going start making some freezer meals in February. I was ready to get started way back in November, but that would have been too early. Even kept in the freezer most of the food probably wouldn’t have lasted long enough.
I'm 31 weeks today so I still have two months and a week to go till my due date. I'm not a last minute kind of person when it comes to preparing for things like this though. I like to have everything ready in advance so that I am ready when the time comes. Should the time come early, then I will be ready.
Some of our family and friends have already blessed us with baby clothes, a crib, a playpen, and diaper bag. I got to wash her laundry and fold her tiny clothes. I've never enjoyed doing the laundry as much as I have when I did hers. The excitement and anticipation it brings to put away her clothes. In only a matter of weeks, I'll be dressing her in those clothes. I can hardly wait! She is going to be so darling in her dresses and bows! I'm running out of ways to describe how excited I am to hold my baby girl. My heart is so full. My husband is excited too. He’s even kept up with how far along I am and how close we are to the due date. Before God formed her in my womb, we loved her so. And now as we eagerly wait for her, our hearts are overflowing with love. How overwhelming it will be to hold her in my arms. ❤
