Pregnancy Journal: month #7

• Seventh Month 04/09/10 to 05/09/10: emotional roller coaster, "so in love", baby's kicks, baby's name...

Wow, seventh month... From the very beginning I've been so worried about the baby being late and now I'm actually praying she'll stay in here at least until her due date.  Women really DON'T know what they want, especially when hormones are running the show.  I already miss being pregnant so much that I don't want it to be over, even though I can't wait to see my little girl's face!

I'm so in love with this little blessing that it makes me want to cry sometimes.  I always hear parents of more than one child saying they experienced a certain kind of "confusion" when their second/third/fourth child was about to arrive... a feeling of "how will I manage to split the love between all my children?", almost as if our hearts are limited to a certain size, but amazingly, I've found out it doesn't really work that way.  Mia is not even here yet and I'm already learning that our hearts grow bigger, so we don't have to split our love between our children.  Rather, we love twice as much.  God is truly amazing in the way He built us and our emotions.

Did you notice I wrote "Mia"?  Yes, it's official.  The chosen name is Mia Faith.  I'm actually doing pretty well in calling out her name now... I say it more often than "the baby"! :o)  As I'm writing this post, she's kicking up a storm in my belly.  If it's true that the baby's activity in utero is similar to what it'll be when she's born, then I'll be up most of the night.  She's smart... this is the only time of the day where she'll be able to have some one-on-one time with me. LOL

Everything else is well.  My belly is growing fast and I'm very tired, but overall, I feel pretty good.  That being said, I'll go to bed and rest while I can!

God bless!
