Two Weeks and Counting

Tomorrow I will be 38 weeks pregnant and I feel like there is a whale head strapped to my body. Like one of those beluga whales. People tell me my belly is cute, and even beautiful, which I truly appreciate, but I can't really go there with them. I have been having some troubles, mainly bladder infections and a kidney stone (what?), which was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. My baby boy is crushing my innards, but really, he can't help it, he's just doing what he was made to do. So I've had several hospital stays and I am so thankful for everyone's prayers and assistance and love and concern! Mac ran in to my hospital room on Saturday as I was being discharged; ran up to me and said, "where's baby Harris?" I said, "exactly." I really really hope my next stay will be the one where I come home with a babe in arms and not so much one using my bladder as an air bag to cushion his head, sweet thing.

You do make me chuckle. I had to go back and let my husband read this one. You do have a way with words.
Your children are adorable. Hope your new addition will make his appearance soon!
