39 Weeks


It's January! George has been asking all throughout this pregnancy if it's January yet, and now that it is actually January, he's getting restless. He keeps asking "When's Baby Paul coming?" every day. Believe me, buddy, I want it to happen soon, too! Although this pregnancy has been really good overall, I'm definitely ready to not be pregnant any more! After 36 weeks, I started having some swelling in my feet and just general discomfort, and I remembered why that last month of pregnancy with George felt so long. Of course, we're also just anxious to meet Paul! We're excited to get to know him and start this new chapter as a family of 4!

The work on the new house is finally wrapping up this week, so we're moving in on Friday! There will still be some going back and forth with final bits & pieces to move, and we'll start cleaning/doing up the flat for rental, but we're thrilled to be moved in at last! I know moving house at 39 weeks, 1 day sounds crazy, but 1) I think I still have awhile to go with this pregnancy, and 2) doing things while heavily pregnant is still easier than trying to do anything in the early postpartum days. This house buying and renovating experience has taken almost the same amount of time as this pregnancy--we put an offer in on this place when I was about 6 weeks pregnant, so it just shows how long these things take!
