YAY! We're getting there! Only 4 more weeks (exactly 1 MONTH) to go unless this little guy decides to make his entrance early- which we would have NO problem with! As of last week, we are READY for him! His clothes are washed and put away and the nursery is finished. I only have a few decorations to add to the walls and a few things to buy, but they can wait. Now that I no longer have his nursery to work on, I am getting SO antsy for him to come! I maybe should have put things off a little longer just to keep myself distracted and busy! I haven't done anything for Christmas though so I'll try to preoccupy myself with that until December 23rd!We have had so much fun getting things ready for him and both my mom and Rob have been such a huge help! I love my family!
Confession time though: Lately, I have felt so whiny and ornery! I'm getting so uncomfortable and I'm so sick of working that I think I have been a bit of a beast to live with lately. I always told myself that I didn't want to be one of those whiny pregnant women and I'm turning into one! Yikes!
Last week, a friend of mine from nursing school who was a week ahead of me lost her baby. I was at work when it happened and it was the most upsetting thing to me. I just hurt for her and I also got really scared. But especially, I was overcome with GUILT for the way I've been feeling lately. With all the discomforts of pregnancy, I think it can be natural to get frustrated or complain, but I feel so guilty for wanting him out now and sometimes hating getting through each day. Is that awful?! I'm trying a lot harder now to be happier and more thankful for the opportunity Heavenly Father has given me to have this baby. In no way, does my complaining mean that I would ever want to not have this experience. I would be more than willing to carry him for another 10 years and continue to get bigger and bigger if it meant I would eventually get to hold him in my arms. I am so thankful for this growing baby inside of me. I've never loved anything more. I haven't even met him yet and I already feel like I would do anything for him. Anyways, my apologies for a long, boring post and for blabbing on and on. I just needed to get those things off my chest. In conclusion, I've felt a slight shift in perspective and I'm trying to daily improve my attitude. Overall, I'm just trying to be more thankful for all the blessings in my life and what better time to do that than Thanksgiving!

you are SO CUTE PREGNANT! congrats on being on that home stretch. don't feel guilty- pregnancy is a total ride, even the crazy emotions:) you'll be such great parents! good luck!
Post some pics of the nursery! I bet you have made it look so cute. :) Hang in there. He'll be there before you know it.
You look great! And yeah, for only one more month =) I'm so jealous! I bet you are getting so excited for the day to come...hang in there, you're so close! I thought this was a sweet post, and I completely understand your feelings...thanks for helping me keep a thankful perspective..
First of all, you look great. One of the cutest pregnant women I have ever seen. Seriously, you are glowing.
Don't feel guilty. It is pretty uncomfortable in the end, but as you already know it is all worth it.
I am so dang excited for you guys. Baby Hunsaker is one lucky boy to be born into such a great little family. We love you guys!
You really do have the cutest belly ever.
It's so good to write those feelings down -- it helps you sort of make sense out of them, doesn't it?
I have no advice on that front, though, because I did my VERY fair share of whining while I was pregnant. I thought Stanton was the biggest jerk ever at times and all those little aches and pains (and the big ones....), well, they just all add up and some days I was ready to tear my hair out and that of anyone near me!
Thank goodness we don't have to carry them for 10 years -- but really, we do! For at least 18! It's way better when they're out and can smile at you, though, for sure!
Anyway, I'm rambling here, but I just love you. Good luck in the next few weeks -- just 2 more until you're done working, right?! Woot!
Honesty is so good for the soul! I am so sorry for your sweet friend and the pain she is feeling. Things like this do help us to broaden our perspective and realize our blessings. We'll be praying for you in this exciting month ahead!
You are so tiny!! You look adorable! Don't feel guilty about anything your prego and are allowed to feel the way you do. I am really excited for your little family!
Okay, you look so darn adorable. I'm so excited for you! I enjoyed your post, it's good to record those feelings, sometimes it makes us feel better just saying them. You are going to be a great mother, this little boy is one lucky little guy. Love you and see you soon
