Making the Most of the Last Days of Pregnancy

It’s the first week of the year, and I’m still pregnant. I honestly can’t believe Kachi and I miscalculated this thing again. Lol. We were hoping for a December baby, but the doctor wasn’t on board with inducing labor to avoid the risk of a premature delivery. And I guess God had his own plans and probably laughed at ours. Hahaha!

So here I am, still pregnant and soaking up every bit of these final moments.

Last Days of Pregnancy

First Sunday of the year

Seasons of life are as beautiful as the phrase itself. While this might be my last pregnancy, it’s also the completion of my family. I am giving my daughters their final sibling, and completing our gallery wall with no missing children. Thank You, Sweet Jesus!

So yes, my season of having pregnancy announcements, gender reveals, and late-night feedings may be coming to an end after this baby, but as my husband said, “When one season ends, another begins.” I still have a while left in this one, and what an amazing thing that is. So I am going to breathe and enjoy every second of it, even the uncomfortable parts. I’ll savor the moments of feeling a baby hiccup in my belly, and laugh at the fifth time in a row I get up and waddle-walk to the bathroom, because this season will not last forever as another one begins.

Truthfully, I feel SO done with this pregnancy. I have documented this season, embraced the glow and allow my heart to feel all the excitement that comes with it.

Since my girls didn’t show up on their due dates, I could very well have three-ish more weeks before baby boy arrives.

Yes, I’m uncomfortable. Yes, I often feel “done.” But I’m also grateful.

I’m grateful for these little kicks that I never thought I’d get to feel again.

I’m grateful for more time as just a family of 4 before our world is changed (in a good way) by a baby boy.

In my marriage, God’s way is always perfect. Everything happens in God’s timing, not mine. He knows the exact moment that is best for my situation to change. He knows exactly when I have fully submitted to His will and desire instead of striving for control. Time and time again, He has proven that His will is perfect. I have to be okay with that and not resist Him by trying to manipulate things. I can trust Him!
