I thought I should write a quick update about how I am feeling and how the pregnancy is going. I really cannot believe that I am 37 weeks! This pregnancy has gone so much faster, and now I am kind of freaking out that I only have 3 more weeks to get the house and work in order. It is hard to find time to get everything ready when I watch Miles all day and during naps I am getting 'work work' done. Then when he is in bed I am so tired it is hard to do much. Hopefully, with Richard's help, we will be able to check off everything off my refrigerator 'Baby to do' list.
Overall I am feeling really well. I have started waddling a lot and it is hard to get comfortable at night. But since I'm not ready for James to arrive, no complaining yet! It will be interesting to see when he makes his appearance. Miles was 10 days late, but my doctor probably won't let me go that late this time. On one hand I can only picture a labor where I am late and am induced (since that is what I know), but on the other hand I am much more active and wouldn't be surprised if he came sooner than Miles. Also, I delivering at very small hospital this time- completely the opposite of last time. Oh well- we shall see! My parents are planning to drive up around my due date. It will be great if they are here to watch Miles when I go into labor. Otherwise, if I go into labor on my own early, we have friends that can watch Miles and I will call them and they will drive up right away. I just don't want to miss Halloween and Miles trick or treating!
You would think that with your second baby you would know what to expect. And while I am not nervous about the same things, I still feel like I have no idea what to expect! I don't know if labor and delivery will go the same. I hope breastfeeding will be a little easier at the beginning. I hope recovery is a little easier. I hope he is as easy as Miles was when he was a baby. I wonder what it will be like to have two kids! And I can only really imagine having another little Miles, but I know James will be his own little person.
What I DO know is that I am excited to have a brand new little baby in our house. And I am SUPER excited to see Miles with James. Miles is always very sweet with babies and he is excited about baby James coming. I know it will still be an adjustment for him, but I am hopeful he is going to love having a little brother. I think my heart will probably explode when I see them together.
Wish me luck in these next few weeks!!!

I LOVED this post! The last few weeks before each of my babies seemed surreal and full of so many emotions. I loved how you were able to capture them in this post. You will do great with all of it and with all of the hard adjustments will also come beautiful moments. I loved seeing Sarah respond to Anna after she was born- it was a very sweet time. Miles is so sweet and will love James. Miles is welcome here anytime so just let me know- day or night!
