38 weeks

Yes i just posted yesterday and this will probably be a boring post to read but sometimes what is a girl to do other than blog when she's pregnant. Today was a good day. I cleaned our apartment, made a lot of burritos to put in the freezer for when I have the baby and don't want to cook, and then I did a lot of dishes. We don't have a dish washer and so sometimes the dishes take quite awhile. I have come to find that doing the dishes by hand really isn't that bad if you have time to do them. Sometimes it feels good to have your hands under warm soapy water. I do think that a dishwasher saves a lot of time and I am not at all saying that I don't want one. I'm just saying that its not THAT bad.

Anyway, today i was sorting through a bunch of gifts that I have received from the showers and just felt an overwhelming feeling of how blessed Alex and I have been. I am so thankful. When I look at all these baby things its hard to believe that we will actually have a baby here with us in just a matter of weeks. Its such a strange feeling knowing that he's coming soon but not knowing exactly when. Last week I was feeling so anxious and not wanting to be pregnant another day.. This week I feel like there is so much to do it would be OK if he waited a few more weeks. Most of all I just hope he's healthy and that everything goes OK.

I feel nervous about what life will be like after having a baby. I still feel like a child myself and I hope that I can be a good mother.

I really enjoyed listening to conference yesterday and I know that even though I feel insignificant and that things may be hard, I know that Heavenly Father knows who I am and is looking out for me. I know that through him I can be made strong and that I can always go to him for help and guidance. I'm so thankful for Alex in my life and what a blessing he is to me. I have no doubt that he will be a good dad and that he will love our children very much. I'm excited for what the future holds. I'm greatful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I know with all my heart that its true!!!

Sweet thoughts Anna. Funny thing about washing dishes by hand is that you get so used to doing it, I still find myself washing all the dishes and we have one. Conference was so good.Love you. Hang in there, not much longer and you'll have a sweet bundle in your arms.:)

Well said Anna, my thoughts and feelings exactly. I have been nervous and felt totally overwhelmed now that this baby will be MY responsibility, but like you said, just go to Heavenly Father and he'll always be there to help, I love knowing that too! Where did you get all of your cute pregnant clothes?
