I posted a pic on facebook this morning of my round and jolly self at 38 weeks. I am thoroughly enjoying these last few weeks of pregnancy. Yes it is too hot, my ankles are swollen nightly, it's hard to sleep comfortably, and I'm pretty exhausted once I get home from work. That is all beside the point though. :)
My skin is playing nice, my hair is thick and I can go days without washing it, I love wearing maternity clothes, Charlie moves all around and reminds me of her presence constantly, I am anxiously excited about labor/birth, the kids love to touch my belly, put their hands on it and tell me Charlie is kicking them. They gave me a full checkup with their doctor kit, stethoscope and all the other day. I enjoy visiting with my midwives, childbirth class is a lot of fun, I'm not waddling too badly, my back is doing fine thanks to the awesome chiropractor, pelvic rocks feel silly but I don't care, reading all of these books with anticipation is incredibly fun, and I just generally enjoy this whole process of pregnancy! I've told Jason to just greet people at church for me with, "She has two more weeks left, there's only one baby in there, and she's not miserable." :)
Keep an ear out for news of baby's arrival!

Glad you are feeling so wonderful! I can't wait for baby Charlie to get here, but I remember missing the pregnancy things once they were gone. Hope you stay this happy for the rest of the time!
So glad you're feeling great! I'll be thinking of you these last weeks and hoping that the delivery is a wonderful, empowering experience!
Take care,
Mira
I'll admit I'm absolutely jealous of your amazing hair! Like seriously, I've never seen it look bad. :D Glad you're feeling so well. The countdown is on for baby Charlie! I'm so excited for your whole experience and can't wait till the day is here.
