I wake up this morning and see that it is Thursday. Thursdays have become Red Letter Days in the Porter Household lately. Because this wee sprite in my belly (who is having a great time at the moment trying to punch my belly button from the inside) will be birthed upon a Thursday. So each Thursday I feel a mix of “Yay! Only X amount of weeks until the baby is here! I can’t wait to meet her!” and “YAY! Only X amount of weeks until I’m not a huge fat whale anymore!” and “OMG, Only X amount of weeks, I am SO NOT READY. KILL ME NOW.” Usually the latter is the predominant feeling, especially as we keep ticking Thursdays off the calendar.
Thankfully, the carseat should be arriving today so that is one less item to fret about. But Liam hasn’t been moved to Harry’s room yet and I’m really dreading that whole thing. And if we are going to decorate Evie’s room at all, none of that has been started yet. Shoot, I don’t even have the letters to spell out “Evie” on the wall yet. We all know how important THOSE are. As if this child even sleep in there for the first several months or so. Ahem. So yeah, plainly put, there is a lot of stuff left to do. I haven’t even talked about what all we have to clean/clean out. Do you want to talk about my minivan? Yeah, neither do I. It’s BAD.
In the meantime, I look at my belly which I think has grown considerably but no one else does (bah) and can’t help but think, “This is almost over.” And that’s almost a sad thought, you know? This has been a rough pregnancy, but I can’t say I’m not going to miss certain parts of it. This is the last time. No more babies within my belly after this. And I only have four weeks left to enjoy it (or complain about it).
FOUR WEEKS, ya’ll.
And in my pink nightmare jammies, no less.

I must say you look rather small for someone who is 8 months pregnant. I think Miss Evie is going to be kind and not come out a 9 pounder like a lot of the other internet babies.

You look fantastic! I wish you the best next month and hope that you are able to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. That last one is hard, knowing that there won’t be anymore.

Wait, did you take this picture TODAY? Because you look about 5 months prego.
Also, I love your jammies.

You look wonderful, and I love the pajamas. I can’t wait to “meet” Evie, but I won’t say I hope this month flies by — you obviously are worried enough about the time crunch.
