the end

it's really the end. and i'm so ready.

it's begun. the "i wonder if this is the last time i'll clean this bathroom with this baby inside of me." "i wonder if this is the last time i'll go to the grocery store with just 3 kids?"

i think my kids and pat are so ready too. i'm so cranky. so impatient. but, it IS short. and i'm trying not to complain outwardly...still working on my heart, because it is complaining constantly.

i've enjoyed being pregnant "one more time" - and now i'm done.

this is like the last 6 miles of a marathon. by the time you train so hard and long, 6 miles seems like a cake walk. But when you see the 20 mile mark you know in your mind "this is it, only 6 to go, it's easy!" the reality of running 6.2 more miles is quite different for your body. Every mile seems to creep by and with every new mile marker emotion wells up inside like you never expected. Hold on Courtney, you are so close! It's just around the corner and straight down hill from here! We are so proud of you and praying for you!!

Am I a horrible friend to ask you to just hang in there one more day so that we can enjoy a fun meal at Cheesecake Factory? LOL! I promise to buy you some cheesecake!
