1 month from today

I won't lie, the end of this pregnancy feels like its dragging on. I'm ready to meet our little guy and have my body back to myself. I'm definitely a little nervous about the transition from one to 2 kiddos, not to mention the newborn, sleepless nights, stage. And of course I worry about Avery not getting the attention she needs/deserves. 
We still have a lot to do before Liam arrives but 1 month from today I get to see his little face for the first time.
I am still working out but have to get up at 6am otherwise its WAY too hot. Speaking of hot, we have already reached over 100 degrees here in Texas and this makes me not want to even leave the house. I don't mind taking Avery to the pool but she doesn't last too long and needs constant attention so its definitely exhausting. I avoid the pool on the weekends though, too many people. Not sure what I would do without air conditioning. I feel bad for Ave, I can't move as fast as I usually do, and definitely starting to have a hard time getting up off the couch :) but I wouldn't trade it for the world. God has blessed us with another little life to cherish and even though it is hard I will make it to delivery day with a smile on my face. I keep reminding myself that each day is a gift, each day is a day he needs to pack on the pounds and get his lungs ready for the real world. I try to count my blessings each time I feel myself start to complain.
I am still waiting for the "nesting" urges to kick in, they never did with Avery but I'm still hoping they will this time. I haven't done much to get ready, no bags packed, haven't washed anything but there is still a little time left right? :)
I did have a doc appt today, Liam's HB was in the upper 140s and I'm measuring right on schedule. In 2 weeks we'll have our last ultrasound and they'll estimate his weight.
On the Avery front, she is becoming her own little person, she loves to communicate and is getting better each day. She loves mommy's attention, she wants me in the same room when she plays, could pose a problem when baby arrives. She likes to say "Mommy come" when she wants me to follow her. She's become such a big helper. I love her so much and its hard to imagine loving another baby as much. But I know its just a different love and I know God is making room in my heart just for him.
We can't wait to meet baby LIAM!
