I am definitely ready to go. Although I love feeling the baby move, I am absolutely ready to be done with the back aches, limited breathing capacity, raging hormones, and sleepless nights. Bring on the post-partum raging hormones, post labor pains, and even more sleepless nights :-) I've been stocking up on all of the necessities around the house, so much so that I've spent almost our entire month's grocery budget in the first week of the month! If I don't have the baby before my due date, we may not have much to eat but we'll have enough toilet paper to last us the rest of the summer!
I am still working, although I am so blessed to be able to work much of the time from home. Since I'm delivering in Grand Rapids this time around, I've requested that I work from home from here on out. Since I went back to work after Hannah was born, I've had the privilege of working part-time, which is very unusual for an engineering position. I've worked at a great company for great bosses who have accomodated such a schedule. After much discussion and prayer during this pregnancy, though, we have decided that after this baby comes I'll be embarking on a new career with longer hours, lousy pay but priceless rewards as a full-time stay-at-home mom! I am so excited to be able to be with our children everyday, to watch them grow and learn and take care of our family and house for my amazing husband. We have worked very hard and are growing in our faith as we are leaning on God to continue to provide, and I am especially grateful to Jason who is totally on board with this decision and fully supportive. It won't be easy, but we know that it will be absolutely worth it!
