34 Week Bump!

It's October and I can finally say "I'm due next month!  There are still six weeks to go, but time is flying.  It's funny how in pregnancy it feels like 9 months is such a long time and then one day you think "wait, it's almost time to give birth but didn't I just find out I was pregnant?"  I finally got the nursery painted (I'll post pictures after we get things set up a bit)....that was a huge relief, because, really, even if the due date is six weeks away, you never know...baby could come any time.  So now I'm washing baby clothes and blankets and finally getting to put everything away, and it's so darn fun! As I get closer to the actual birth I'm thinking more and more about the last time I did all this (sixteen years ago!).  Back then I read pregnancy books and I had lots of experience babysitting little ones, so I felt pretty confident, but I really didn't have a clue!  I have to say, though, that I think my body handled pregnancy better at 20 than it's doing at 36 - ha!  This time around I have a lot more aches and pains, but I'm also a lot more relaxed about the whole process.  There's something to be said for having already gone through it all and being able to recognize that everything will turn out okay.  Plus, with all the child development classes I took for my Psychology major, I know so much more than I did last time.  Of course, I'm having a boy this time, and that's a whole new world for me, so I'll still be learning along the way!  Here's a pic from now and one from around this time my last pregnancy (I think it was at 32 weeks, so pretty close). Feel free to add comments on what you found different from pregnancy to pregnancy!

    Moving from America to France with two preteen girls, two dogs and a cat was an incredible adventure. After four years living just outside of Paris, the Family McLean headed back to the U.S. (minus the cat, but with a new baby boy). Four years later, we're leaving Raleigh, NC, and heading to Egypt (with another little boy in tow...)
