Though the two days (the 28th or 1st ), in which I was hoping Landon would come, have passed I am perfectly ok with it. There must be a reason that he hasn't made his debut yet and maybe Daniel and I just need a few more quiet days together. We know the time is approaching as I can see and feel my body progress into the last things that need to happen before he can come out.
I feel so blessed with everything that has happened. Married life is very fulfilling to me and this is one of the best times of my life. I was thinking this morning how I feel blessed that Daniel no longer has a job. Though both of us were laid off from our jobs it has been a blessing. We have been able to spend a lot of extra time together, yet I see that if he still had his job we wouldn't get our extra time and I would be here by myself with Zoe and Landon.
We have been so blessed and fortunate with everything God has done and given to us. We both feel especially blessed that God has granted us a son, because I ...as Daniel has too... have always wanted a son of my own. I am very happy that God gave us a baby boy the first time I ever conceived because now that I have been through everything I can see that this may be our only one. There have been times that my pregnancy has been hard but I wouldn't take this time back for anything. It may seem weird to say but my pregnancy has been hard and at the same time it has been pretty easy. It was hard in the way of my passing out problem. I passed out at about 10 weeks of being pregnant and then I almost passed out again around 30 weeks. I would have times where all the sudden something would come over my body while I was working or cleaning or just not really doing anything and I just had to try to sit for a little while until it passed, not knowing if I was going to pass out or not. I have gained so much weight throughout my pregnancy that my body is reaping the consequences now. My bladder feels the extra weight, and I have to kind of push myself off of the couch or out of bed when I need to get up and that can be difficult and the weight takes effect to my feet and can become pretty painful.
So, you may ask...well how has it been easy? It has been easy in the way that I did not have the kind of morning sickness that a lot of pregnant women face. My son likes to eat and very rarely did I throw up. A lot of the symptoms that I could have had in the beginning were dismissing me and I did not have to deal with them and I didn't have a whole lot of pain throughout my pregnancy.
As I wrap this blog up, we know the time is approaching. Landon could come any day now, even though my due date isn't here yet. He has dropped a little bit and is getting ready to meet us. I pretty much have things ready for him now and feel pretty prepared for when he comes home. Daniel and I are excited...I am excited for after he comes out and not too excited for the labor...but who knows...maybe I'll be like my mom and the labor wont be so bad. We just can not wait to see our little Landon's sweet face...we have waited and now the time is almost here.
