Only 5.5 weeks left until Baby Hanlon comes! We are getting pretty excited. We finally recieved our car seat in the mail this week. We pretty much have everything that we have to have ready. I'm still packing my hospital bag and trying to get everything ready for him to come home. Thankfully we are not doing a nursery here in Sicily since we are moving soon, so I am not obsessing over that! Our last doctor appointment was on Dec 24 and everything went well. His heartbeat was right where it should be. Our next appointment is in two weeks and we will go over the birth plan. Time is flying by! It doesn't seem like it has been that long ago when we found out that we were pregnant.
I never thought I would be one to say that I'm ready to have the baby. But honestly I am. I'm ready to meet this little guy who has taken over my body. My pregnancy has been a great one. I haven't had any problems other than a little morning sickness or nausea here and there at the beginning. I've stayed pretty active throughout my whole pregnancy, which has probably helped out a lot. It took me a little bit to get used to his movements. Sometimes it still feels weird when he moves around like a little fish in my tummy. It's hard to imagine that a little human is living and growing inside me. It doesn't seem real...but I am always reminded of my ever growing "beer gut" or as Aaron calls it, my "keg". My stomach actually hasn't gotten that big, or at least not as big as I was thinking I would be. But I am sure it's coming in the next few weeks.
