I don't know how to feel... happy, scared, ironic? I have never known so many women to be pregnant simultaneously in my life. Maybe it's my age, perhaps this economy creates more activity in the bedroom, or maybe something is in the water?!
Whatever it is, I'm sure you all can say the same... I'd like to know your thoughts.
Jeremy and I just finished making our holiday sweets and boy do I need to start giving them away before I eat them all! I am starting to think that buying stock in sweets isn't such a bad idea, or maybe listening to Stock Traders at Piper Jaffray for 2 months has sunk "Invest Now" into my subconscious.

I am still feeling wonderful overall. Just a bit more out of breath these days, still craving sweets like mad, and starting to feel the Braxton Hicks contractions. It's nothing more than my stomach becoming hard, but it is a bit odd to think that those can start as early as now... actually an article I read stated they start as early as 6 weeks, but you don't even notice them until later.

I am looking into Hypnobirthing as a labor tool. I don't think I'll spend the whopping $350.00 on classes, but rather purchase a book/CD combo and hope for the best!
I have a really wonderful and supporting partner that is all geared up and more prepared than I am. Jeremy has already purchased organic diapers stating "You will always need diapers, might as well start stocking up while they are on sale!"
I think the fact that he has already gone through this experience twice is very beneficial to myself and Adrayn now. Jeremy has been calm, cool, and excited for this event to take place.
To change things up from his previous experiences we are planning on Jeremy being the person that will be "delivering/catching" our son.
I think his previous experience is comforting to me; knowing that he has been through this, I feel more trusting leaning on him for support.
I can't wait to hold our little man! Feelings change week to week... fears, joys, but this week I am more confident, and reassured with Jeremy's support.
Wow, is this really going to happen?! Bring it on!
Now... to just get James Bond prepared.... Hmmm.... he's a total mama's boy. A reality check is coming sooner than he thinks!
Mucho Love!
