My Growing Family

Changes Changes...everything is always changing. Sometimes we welcome the changes because they feel so good. Other times we cringe as these dark changes come into our lives and we are never the same.

Full Term FINALLY

I am FINALLY full term!! I am 37 weeks pregnant today, and boy, do I feel pregnant! I feel physically that I couldn't be any more pregnant than I am right now. I know in my head that I CAN get even more pregnant....aka....even 'bigger', but at the moment, I feel a little better about wishing him out!

Up until now, people have been saying "Oh, no. Don't wish that your baby will be born prematurely. You don't want THAT to happen." Of course I don't want him to be born too early. But really, how early is too early. I was 35 weeks pregnant, and I knew that he would more than survive, he would have thrived. But there were those accusatory remarks.

So now.....HA!! I AM FULL TERM, AND I WILL TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I WANT HIM OUTTA DODGE!! Hopefully without too many negative comments from other people.

I decided not to name him Berek Joaquin. I removed the Joaquin (after much careful consideration) and have decided on Dean. Berek Dean Chasteen. I loooove the name now. I just can't hear it enough. Berek Dean Chasteen.

I named him after my friend Berek Solano and my brother Richard Dean.
Have I mentioned that I just LOOOVE the name.

I feel him moving right now, which is good because it means he's still alive and kickin', but I wish that he would stay fine and be still because that means that labor could be starting. I'm having a little discharge....(just what you wanted to know), and that's a sign that labor is coming, so it's gonna happen. I just know it. It's gonna happen all by itself this time. And when it does, it won't be any more of this 36 hours of labor crap. It's gonna be quicker, and hopefully less painful. Pray that it will get here quick, and be over quickly.

I just wanna meet this little man already! I want to know if he has hair, or not so much hair.

Is he dark? Or is he lighter? Does he look like Poncho? Or will he look more like me?
I NEED ALL THESE QUESTIONS ANSWERED!!

ALL IN DUE TIME, BELOVED.

That reminds me. I just finished reading "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. Holy Cow. Talk about moving. I could read and read and read that book. I recommend it to everyone. It gives me hope that someday I will find a man worth keeping. Better yet, that he would find me.

Moooooving on. I'm done with this post, and I'm done with this pregnancy. I'm going to hit "Publish" and my water will break. Here goes.......
