Baby Bump: {35 Weeks}

 

Recently, I've started feeling that this pregnancy has gone on forever. If you think about it, I've been pregnant for almost an entire year! When we moved into our home about 6 months ago, I was already roughly 3 months pregnant. I feel like I've been pregnant for so long that I can't even remember what it feels like not to be pregnant: having the energy to walk the entire length of Long Beach, wearing skinny jeans, being able to sleep on my stomach, getting out of the bath without groaning like a pensioner...

That being said, with the end of my pregnancy fast approaching, I've been thinking a lot about what it's going to be like after I give birth to little Bean. I've become so used to having him inside me that it's going to be a tad strange getting used to having him outside my body and having nothing in there. No wriggles or kicks? I can't remember what that feels like.

As long as this pregnancy feels, I can't say that I'm quite ready for it to end just yet. With roughly five weeks to go, I've started organising our home, adding the finishing touches to Bean's bedroom, and I've packed our hospital bags, but there's still so much I want to do before his arrival! So for now I'm really relishing my last few weeks of pregnancy - every little wriggle and jab, and even those pesky aches and pains. Soon enough it'll be all over and pregnancy will seem like a distant memory. That makes me feel a little sad, but I can't deny that I'm very excited to welcome our little guy into our hearts and home. It's going to be a BIG year, that's for sure!
