Okay, so its not even yet my due date, but I am SO impatient and ready for Miss Mia to be born. For most of my pregnancy, we've been trying to make sure I don't have this baby early and ever since I got the word that I'm far enough along that they won't stop labor if it starts, I've been ready. Patience has never been one of my virtues; I do try, really, but it doesn't come easy for me. Anyway, I decided today that instead of wondering when this baby is ever going to come and being frustrated, I am going to think about the things that I have really loved about being pregnant and what I will miss.
My absolute favorite thing about being pregnant has been when Aspen snuggles with me and lays on my belly and little Miss Mia starts moving and kicking. I've always wondered if Mia is happy to feel her sister or if she's already declaring her own space. :)
My next favorite thing is seeing Mia's little parts moving across my belly...a foot, her bum, whatever...I just have loved watching the way those parts distort my belly. Its great! And all around just feeling her move and how she reacts to music, touch, different things...has just been amazing. I love when she moves so much I can lay the remote or my cell on my belly and she moves it around, once she even kicked it off! I have enjoyed talking to my little one and connecting with her. Even the times that she has kicked me in the ribs or I swear sometimes her foot is STUCK in there...those have been so cool, too.
I've also enjoyed all of the ultrasounds and peeking in on her. Even though they're because of a complication, its nice to see her little heart beating and to see her stretching and moving and even yawning.
These are the things I have loved the most about being pregnant. And chatting with Malo about what characteristics we think or hope she will (or WON'T - haha!) inherit from us. So now I will just be patient and wait for her to come on her own time...and then we'll play with her and snuggle her and make sure she doesn't have Malo's feet. I can't wait....oh wait, I CAN. :)

You are too funny! I know being pregnant at the end totally stinks! We keep praying for you that you'll have the baby soon. Every time I see you I remember how awful the last few weeks were. But you have a much better attitude about it than I ever did! You're a good mommy!
You have to wait, you don't even have your hospital bag ready! Do that and then she can come:) Can't wait to meet her!!
It's true the last weeks do suck, but way to go on finding the positive. It is so amazing to finally get to meet the little person who has been kicking around in you belly.
i got all teary-eyed remembering what it was like to be pregnant...I wish I would have taken the time to think about what I loved about being pregnant...instead I I focused on the negative aspects and called myself a "realist"...ha! ha! I really miss being pregnant now though....The kicker is that while you are wishing for pregnancy to be over...really you are wishing for labor and delivery and THAT....well, not pleasant, to say the least....but then they put your little one one your belly....it really is a sweet experience.

So sweet. This will be a neat thing for you to have once she comes. I wish I'd have written out some 'favorites' for Kade!!! Enjoy your time with sweet Aspen...and I 'can' (can't) wait to 'meet' miss Mia too!!!!
Love~ Ashley
