38 weeks pregnant

This week we are only two weeks away from our due date and we are defiantly feeling it! Ezra is now approx 20.5 inches long which is about the size of a pumpkin and he weighs around 7lbs! Not much has changed this week apart from he would have lost more of the hairs from his body and he has gained some more fat.

I've spent most of this week thinking about Ezra being born, I'm at the point now where I'm so impatient and am really sick of being asked how long I have left. I get pains and think something is starting and then it all stops, and moving around is so uncomfortable now that I actually struggle to get up sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate being pregnant and think it's amazing how my body can grow another. This will probably be my last pregnancy but I am in need of having my body back. It's a strain on me to be this big, to weigh so much. People will tell me that I'm still so slim blah blah, but to me it isn't normal and it doesn't feel right.

Amelia knows that we are super close to Ezra coming, she keeps asking to go to her sleepover at Nannys and telling me that Ezra will be born soon. I love all the little stories that she tells about when he is here, I just hope she doesn't get too overwhelmed by it all! I think when Ezra is a few weeks old I will take Amelia out for a little treat just to show her that she is still my baby girl!

Me and Paul decided this week that we don't want any visitors at the hospital, so after Ezra comes Paul will be leaving to go and collect Amelia and then we will all go home together. Hopefully we are only in the hospital for the 6 hours, and during this time we can spend those few precious hours together as a family and truly appreciate what we have got. Neither of us have any internet on our phones so most of Ezra's first photos will be taken on my camera and uploaded once we are home and settled! Paul also announced this week that he is now ready to meet his son, which was so lovely for me to hear. It's much harder for a man as they don't bond so much with baby until they are born, so knowing that he is prepared and ready, makes me feel a little better about knowing that it's going to happen any day now and we need to be ready for it.
