I slept for about 3 1/2
hours last night. Is this what the end of pregnancy feels like?
Great. However, I did manage to shave my legs this morning, so, you
know, there's that. If you don't know why this is incredible, then you
have never been 39 weeks pregnant.
It
hit me a few weeks ago while I was making the trek from campus to my
trusty parking spot next to the car with eyelashes in the Marriott
Center parking lot, (have you seen that car? It's so funny!) that I'm
not only having a baby, but I'm also graduating. I always thought I
would be more excited. I mean, of course I'm excited, but I'm also
really going to miss school. I loved every second of being a BYU
student. I really, really did. I even loved the seconds cramming for
those awful American Heritage tests. Even those excruciating seconds I
loved deep down because I love BYU, and I love learning, and I love
school.
About
a year ago, my sister Natalie told me to enjoy every moment of being in
college, because it is the only time in your whole life where your main
focus can be on making yourself a better, smarter person. Of course,
you can always improve, but in college, the whole time you get to have
your #1 focus be on becoming a more knowledgeable person. When you
think about it, it's kind of selfish, and it is wonderful.
I only have ONE week left until my due date, and FIVE
weeks until I'm an official college graduate. I'm going to miss
school, but I'm very excited to move on to this next adventure.
Our little guy is constantly moving and reminding us that he's coming soon. I like to think that I have a lot more time left than I really do. Most of my sisters have had to be induced a week after their due dates, so I'm not very hopeful that he'll come on his awesome due date of 11.11.11. My sister asked me if I've packed my hospital bag, and I found myself answering, "no, I'll probably just do that the night before..." then I realized that I don't know when the night before will be... which is still a very hard concept for me- the perpetual planner- to wrap my head around.
