Another Appointment Down...Two More to Go!

We're down to going every week now. I love this part because it makes the wait seem to go by faster! Two weeks and 3 days left, and I've only gained 25 lbs. so far!!

Serafina is stretching me out more than either Savannah or Gaby did during my pregnancies with them. My doctor made a comment that she seems to have grown a lot since the last time he saw me. I definitely am feeling the belly weight. My left knee hurts a little when I go up and down the stairs. It's getting harder to get up from the floor, so I try not to put myself in that situation. I need to support my belly just to roll from one side to the other. My entire body moves when Serafina moves.

Aside from the discomforts, and lessening amount of energy, I am enjoying these final weeks as a pregnant mom. I officially stopped working last Thursday. As an added bonus, I didn't even have a session on my last day. I did miss spending my last 2 weeks with one of my favorite kiddos, but was thrilled to be able to join him and his family celebrate his, and his sisters', 3rd birthday. So far, I have spent my time sleeping in, and relaxing more. Savannah and Gaby are thrilled that Mommy no longer has to leave for work on Tuesdays and Thursdays and have a line up of activities for me to do with them. In fact, Savannah's request upon finding out that I didn't have to work on my last day was for us to make pancakes for breakfast!

The girls' room, family room, and our bedroom are now all ready to welcome Serafina. I feel more at peace with my surroundings, give or take a few more things I would like to fix up. I am satisfied enough and can turn a blind eye to all the other little things. Pray that Savannah and Gaby will fall back into an earlier Night Night routine, and that Gaby will have an easier time falling asleep. We've also started introducing Gaby to the wonderful world of "going to the potty", and hope that we can stay consistent and get rid of another set of diapers/pull ups. Savannah continues to be my right hand, and super helper! I am truly blessed!
