Home Stretch!

We're starting to get ready for our little girl over here. Hard to think that she could be here in 10 weeks. I feel like my body is starting to phase out of the "glorious" stage of pregnancy and into labor/delivery preparation mode ("Yay" for charley horses and pelvic stretching!). My mom came to visit for a day this week and helped me clean out some clutter from our tiny house and organize my closets (Thanks, Mom!). I feel like we'll actually have space for a baby now. I'm a lot more relaxed with the thought of having baby #2. I was so paranoid and anxious at this stage the first time around. We'll see if I can maintain my calm attitude as I get closer to the "big day." So far I've repressed most of the memories from childbirth. :)

Mara, you are looking so good!
I posted a "belly shot" on our blog today as well. I think you are about two weeks ahead of me. Hope you are feeling great! ~Krista

You are so tiny for only 10 weeks to go!
Go for the epidural Hon! I never felt a single thing once it kicked in. I can't believe you can birth a child and not feel torture! This once crazy-all-natural-home-birthing woman is now sold on having a drugged birth!

You will have so much fun with a little girl and you will enjoy this time around even more as you'll both be more relaxed and confident as parents. God be with you!

Looking good Mara. You're one of the cutest baby mamas that I've seen!

Thanks for your sweet words!! I too think you are looking great! I laughed at you trying NOT to remember the joys of childbirth...I am totally there! I hope you continue to feel good as you get closer to your own little one!!!
