As of today I am 36 weeks or 9 months along, Gina the midwife says that Dorian is still head down and definitely pressing into my pelvis now. I honestly don't think it will be much longer, maybe 3 more weeks at most but as long as he doesn't come in the next week I am happy. This big belly is becoming annoying though, mainly because I keep forgetting it is there and run into something or bump something and it hurts. The pain is more like when you press a little too hard on your belly button though, but it is still aggravating. The midwife is pretty positive that there won't be any issues during labor, and things will definitely be easy as long as I keep in mind that this pain, like any other pain I've pushed through will end and there is a prize at the finish........ I just have to remind myself that OVER, AND OVER AND OVER again.
My main reason for being excited for this to be almost over is the awkwardness of the belly, and my overall awkwardness....... I told Cameron it will definitely be a few years before the next one because I don't think I could go through another 36 - 40 weeks of this, technically the belly has only really been here since about 25 weeks so........ but the not being able to rollerblade, mountain biking, trail running, kickboxing, wrestling with my husband, laying on my stomach, eating meat medium rare and other things...... all that would drive me crazy, and not mention the bladder and bathroom breaks every 5 minutes lol. I've always liked the idea of 2 children, but not too close in age, maybe 3 to 5 years apart.
I can honestly say that I will be so happy to have Dorian in my arms, to be able to look at him and hold him, and to really start my journey as a mother. It's going to be quite an experience, but I have so much to teach him and show him already, and so many opportunities to provide to him that I didn't have growing up. I don't mean spoiling, by no means materialist things but more valuable things in life. I'm going to show him why nature and wildlife is so much more important and interesting than television and all this technology crap, but also the good that television does have to offer (Magic Schoolbus, National Geographic, Nova). I cannot wait.
