I took this picture a few weeks ago. This is the view I have of my feet. This view is proof that Quinn has definitely grown. She feels big when she moves. I remember when I felt light flutters a few months ago. Now she feels so much stronger and larger! She warps my stomach while she is moving and feels so strong. It is amazing to imagine her in there, so close to being ready to enter the world.
This is my belly at 36 weeks. It looks like I have a basketball shoved up my shirt. I can't believe that our daughter is snuggled up in there and that in just a few weeks, we get to hold her in our arms! Quinn, you are so loved and wanted! We are anticipating your arrival and are doing little things to get ready: attending infant care classes, laundering your clothes and bedding, packing hospital bags, etc. We want everything to be just right when it is time to bring you home for the first time. Daddy and I love you so much already. It is hard to imagine what it will be like to see you and hold you.
This week I reached another milestone: I can no longer zip my jackets up! I am glad that a few of my jackets can zip from both the top and the bottom. Quinn, I never thought I would reach a point in my life when I would be happy to gain weight and get bigger each week. You have changed that for me! I am happy to give you a healthy, safe place to grow. Although I admit that I am not excited about having to burn these extra pounds off once you arrive, you are definitely worth it!
