35 Weeks

They say your equilibrium is off when you are pregnant, and I would have to agree (including my husband). For some reason, this past week has been nothing but dropping things and/or seamlessly running into things. Oh boy...it makes for a good laugh, that's for sure!

We are almost finished with the babies room. I am contemplating posting pictures because it has the babies name on the wall. Maybe I will when it is completely finished? You'll find out one way or another. :) Our little man is growing fast, and things are looking good. He is in position for labor, and ready to face this crazy world.

I've been feeling the same...mostly tired by the end of the day, and ready for bed. I haven't felt any kind of contraction (that I am aware of) during my pregnancy thus far. Some of my friends said they didn't feel anything until they went into labor, so that might just be the case for me. Only time will tell (literally!)....5 or so weeks, and it is time. Some days it still seems surreal, and other days, it can't come fast enough.

I read this quote from my friends blog and I couldn't help but post it on here because it resonated with my heart so much (speaking about their own mother)....
 

"My mother summed it up, "my job is to create a balance in you, one to give you roots and wings at the same time, without allowing one to dwarf the other."

I've been thinking about our little man, and even though he is a baby and will be for awhile, he will eventually grow up and venture out on his own. I don't know if that means he will move far away (he could), or if he will stay where he is raised (who knows?), but it does mean that I have to allow him to spread his wings and fly, with the realization of his family roots, and the importance of spending quality time with them. There is a great balance that should take place between these two things, and I pray that our little boy finds that balance, and isn't afraid to fly.
