36 weeks down 4 to go...
We have made it through another milestone. Yesterday marked 36 weeks--a bitter sweet event.
bitter because time is passing so quickly. the reality of me being a mother has truly set in. 4 weeks does not seem like nearly enough time to prepare oneself for the endless soiled diapers, loud cries, sleepless nights, and complete responsibility for another.
however, sweet because in 4 weeks the constant belly discomfort will come to a close, i will have a precious daughter to get to know and love, and my "baby fat" will disappear (so exciting)
This is what life looks like as of now... Kristin and baby Khloe at 36 weeks

Everyone will tell you this, but the time really DOES go by so fast...as soon as you're done being pregnant, you'll think "Wow, I miss feeling my baby kick." And when you stop waking up in the middle of the night with a hungry baby, you'll think "Wow, that wasn't so bad after all." And then when she starts to smile, laugh, crawl, walk....all SO FAST!
My advice from one mommy to another is to try to look at the positive part of whatever situation you're in. When Reese woke up in the middle of the night, I tried to think of it as extra special time we got to spend together, just us girls (instead of being angry she was awake). Or when Khloe cries, be thankful she has healthy lungs. Or when she spits up, you can always wash it out. I know it sounds sappy, but your mindset becomes your lifesaver :)
She'll be here so soon!!
