35 Weeks with Porter

35 Weeks with Greenlee...OH.MY.WORD!

Yesterday marked 35 weeks for this pregnancy.  I seriously thought my doctor would check me and say the baby was about to fall out.  Haha, at least that's how I've been feeling lately-- lots of pelvic pain and pressure, contractions, cramps, etc.  Of course, that was not the case.  Instead, she said "oh you are just half a centimeter-- totally normal for this stage in the game."  I was partly relieved to hear that, but partly disappointed.  Relieved because I'm definitely enjoying the ease of only having one child and just the overall "norm" that we've finally managed to establish.  On the other hand, I was a little disappointed because I am weary of being pregnant!  I definitely can't complain much-- but it's becoming a little more uncomfortable with each passing week.  The biggest thing that bothers me is the recent pregnancy insomnia I have been experiencing.  Knowing the degree of sleep deprivation that I will be experiencing in a few short weeks make me LONG to sleep as much as possible, but sleep seems so elusive lately.  A lot of it is not being able to get into a comfortable position and having to pee so much in the middle of the night!  I'm praying I can get some rest the next few weeks if possible.  In the meantime, I'm savoring these last few weeks as a family of three :)
