I'm 36 weeks today, welcome September!

I've never been so excited to welcome September before in my life! Here we are in the month our 5th child together is due! Now I have no idea if I will come early or late! Will I make it to my date of the 20th and erupt on labor pains or what?! How exciting! This past month went by fast yet very slow as I was very aware of my body and alert to what seems like every contraction, cramp, sensation, I really have never been this in tuned with my body. It makes me wonder will I be even more so in future pregnancies. I've learned a couple things about due dates while being pregnant this time and one thing has become clear that due dates are just guesses and in some cases real good guess! Some women stay right on top of dates schedueling intercourse around their fertile time making the time of conception undoubtfully clear, and then there's me who doesn't remember if my last cycle came on Thanks giving or Christmas! :) All I know is I'm big, and the baby hasn't dropped yet. I heard if you feel fluttering down at the bottom it means that the baby is in a breech position. I feel fluttering at the bottom, but I don't know this  to be fact. Another thing I learned this pregnancy about due dates is to have no fear if the baby takes a little longer than estimated. One week no problem, two weeks and you'll probably go into labor any day now according to my new friend in my head Mrs. Ina May Gaskin, whom I had no idea existed until about the 8th month of my pregnancy when I saw the documentary done by Ricki Lake entitled the business of being born. It's  life changing for birthing women of America particularly. I highly recommend it to any mother/ grand mother/ or Go d mother who can share this with dear ones of the family and friend types.

 Another reason I'm excited about this month is because of the fall season approaching.  The change in weather is gonna be awesome for this pregnant mama! Like I said, never before have I anticipated fall :) God has caused me to delight in the simple things :). I hope uou find something to rejoice about this month, even without having a baby due(or maybe you do!) You can find joh in the knowing Jesus died for your sins and  if you're reading this blog, you are alive with eyes to see! What ab blessing! God bless!
