I know I'm lucky, and these last couple of weeks has reminded me how lucky I am to feel so many strong kicks from inside and to feel my healthy baby boy moving and living and thriving. I know this is my last pregnancy. I know that there are women who have high-risk pregnancies and are concerned every second of every day until the delivery.
I know!
But I'm tired and sore and over it. I can't help it. And it isn't that I'm not excited for this little boy to be a part of our family, because I am excited. I just want him here, in my arms, and I want my body back, what's left of it. I want my family to be complete.

Due Date: March 24, 2020 (aiming for an early cesarean around March 17!)
