31 weeks

we are getting closer...

and I am still feeling pretty darn good!

my upper ribs are tender a lot but nothing unbearable!

still making it to the gym on average 5 days a week and maintaing my

usual routine with some minor adjustments and I move a little slower...

this past week I attended a 31 hour labor

and did not sleep for over 50 hrs...

lets just say I have spent most of the week recovering!

-and-

I have a mama who is now over 41 weeks

so I should be getting a call any day now

and then I will be at it again!

God somehow gave me the energy to make it through the last birth

so I know, giant belly and all, I can make it through one more!

... and then it's time to breathe, rest, nest, and focus on my baby!

I have to say I am pretty excited to go into labor again...

especially when attending births.

even if the births I attend (which are in hospitals)

are nothing like I would want for my own,

I still get so much energy and excitement from watching

a woman transform into something amazing

as she works so hard to get her baby out!

I am very very thankful though,

to be having this baby (just like alomae)

at home!
