This was a great day. Despite Clint going on a fishing trip for the weekend--I miss him already!--it was such a relaxing day for me that I just wish they could all go this smoothly, right through to the day I give birth.
I can't believe what a polite, happy little girl Maisey has been all day. What a joy! She was so sweet and happy this morning when she woke up. She didn't fight a nap, or bedtime. She actually asked to take a bath at 7:45. We had a lot of fun making ice cream with Play Doh, eating popcorn and watching Jungle Book, playing with Ariel & Flounder in the bath, reading stories at nap and bedtime. She was just so sweet, she said, "Thank you Mommy for reading that book." when I finished. Then she said, "I think I'll go to sleep now." I couldn't have been more charmed. I'm just hoping and praying this cooperation and sweetness continues so that our first day at preschool (and every day after that) goes well.
She was even pretty well behaved at the doctor's today. Of course Clint was there to distract her; she's a little overprotective of Mommy's belly these days, unless the nurse takes her blood pressure or puts the doppler on her belly.

But yeah! I only gained a pound and a half in the past two weeks. I just don't think my belly can stretch a millimeter more, and maybe I'm right. Everything looks good, and I've only got a month left! I guess that realization put me in a good mood, and a good night's rest doesn't hurt either.
It's finally sinking in that all the alien movement in my belly will be a beautiful baby girl in just four weeks! I'm not panicked about the long list of stuff that hasn't yet been done, or worried about the impending c-section, or everyone's opinion that I may go into labor early. I feel so at peace today that I just want this to linger for the next four weeks and forever.
Life is good.
Not much longer now! I hope you are still feeling the peace today. :)
