35 weeks.

I swear, in looking at forums lately, it seems pregnant women don't want to leave anything to surprise anymore.

It's so sad to me. I mean, nowadays, women get a gazillion ultrasounds (for medical reasons, usually, of course) that tell them the approximate size of the baby. The 3D and 4D ultrasounds show them what their babies look like before they even take their first breaths.

It's strange. Am I the only woman out there who wants a beautiful surprise on my baby's birth day? I want to see her and cry my eyes out because she's so beautiful, so perfect...so mine.

I just don't understand the mentality of other women who want to see everything before the big day.

I also don't understand women who are only 32 -34 weeks and actually wanting labor to start ASAP. Really? I mean, I'm uncomfortable as hell and sometimes I say I want her to get here already, but really I want her to get here when she's ready. I hope that's what other mothers really mean, but for some it doesn't seem that way. Some have started drinking teas to increase contractions and such. It's so irresponsible to me.

So I'm 35 weeks today and feeling pretty good in general. The weather here in Cincy was nice, only about 80 degrees, so K, the boys, and I went to Yellow Springs to visit stores...I found a beautiful prayer shawl to make a baby carrier out of! We also stopped at Young's Dairy Farm for some yummy ice cream. It was a great day.

Now I'm sitting on the couch, with my Flintstone feet propped up on the ottoman and a now empty bag of Sun Chips at my side. lol I love Sun Chips.

Baby B has been super active today...pushing on my bladder with no mercy, but you know, it's funny that feeling her move never gets old to me. I love it. I love watching my belly wiggle around as she moves. I will miss that once she is here.

This pregnancy has been a bit rough compared to my boys, but overall, it hasn't been bad at all and I should consider myself lucky. :)
