33 1/2 Weeks!

So I thought I would share how my pregnancy is going so far with my baby girl.  I am 33 1/2 weeks and due Thanksgiving Day although I am convinced I will not make it that long.  Lately I have had a TON of pressure and cramping in the stomach and I pray that I can last a few more weeks for the little one to mature.  I will go in to the doctor in 2 weeks and then after that every week till she is here. 


I am getting very excited to see what this little girl looks like!  Will she look like Alivia or will she look totally different?  For some reason Aaron and I think she will be bigger and longer than Alivia was when she was born.  I hope not too much bigger! 


Also, my brother and sister-in-law are expecting a boy in March and I am super pumped about that!  I cannot wait to add more babies to my side of the family because it makes it that much more fun for when the holidays roll around.  Next Christmas should be a blast with 3 grandkids!  Also, I am glad they are having a boy because deep down I really wanted a boy this pregnancy at first and now I am glad they are able to have one so we can balance out the family a bit! 


I never really shared that with a ton of people, but I have to admit I was a little sad when the ultrasound technician said it was a girl.  I was absolutely sure that it was a boy and I was so prepared for her to tell us this, but when she said, "It's a Girl!" I don't think I said anything for a whole minute.  I needed to take it all in and, I'll admit, shed a couple of tears.  After the appointment I started thinking of all the wonderful things another girl will bring to our family.  I cannot tell you how excited I am that it is a girl again!  I have gotten past my disappointment and realized how blessed we are that we can bring another child into this world.  I really hate that I even felt that way in the first place, but here I am being honest to the world!  God obviously knows what he is doing and for that I am so thankful that he is in control and not me.  My selfish ambitions would only ruin things and I am glad that there is a "Master Planner."
