The further I get along in my pregnancy, the more I see my body asking for rest and relaxation. My to-do lists are checked off – the bags are packed, her room is ready, clothes and cloth diapers are washed, and our house has been rearranged and cleaned. Now it’s just a time in our lives to be patient. To breathe. To enjoy the final days of just husband and wife. To put our feet up.
I am indulging in this season (trying to remain calm and not too anxious about her arrival 
). I have been reading books that I have wanted to tackle, including Twilight. We’ve watched a lot of movies from Netflix cuddled on the couch and we even went to see a 3D movie in the theater wearing funny looking glasses.
Most nights, I have opted to stay in rather than going out to do something. It’s my time to remain in my home, taking care of myself and Sprout, and enjoying my last few days of just being me. I know the next season of motherhood will be just as glorious, but the present moment is just as much as a gift.

That is so encouraging to hear! I struggle when I hear pregnant mommies getting all consumed with the baby’s arrival, getting overly anxious at times, that they lose the precious time of the present…just enjoying the season of being pregnant! Good for you! Treasure those moments with your hubby. You will find that you do actually grow closer together through the process of welcoming your child…it is pretty incredible!
Congratulations! I’m just passing by from Living Simply Saturdays, but I wanted to say good for you, for enjoying the moments you have now. I look back on the birth of my first son, and wished I had relished and claimed those last days of anticipating his arrival. Enjoy!
Blessings to you during this season! I keep checking your site to see if she’s here yet.
You’ll be so glad you took that date to the theater! We went to a movie a week or so before Gen was born, and haven’t been back since.
