While pregnant with Vivian the day before turning 39 weeks, I was already at the hospital, Cervidil in place, monitors hooked up and knew she was going to born the next day thanks to Pitocin. Not so much with this pregnancy. We are just waiting for Joanna's arrival on her own time. Honestly, I hate waiting and not knowing. I have a feeling I will go past due. Past due and getting bigger. Oh, boy!
I feel this labor and delivery will be completely different than Vivian's since this entire pregnancy has been different. From not having gestational diabetes this time, Joanna had a choriod plexus cyst which is now gone, Joanna constantly moving and I rarely felt Vivian, I've gained more weight this time, I have not worked out with this pregnancy like I did with Vivian's, haven't slept as well, no swelling this time, tested positive for Strep B with Joanna. So true that not every pregnancy you have is the same.
I have been soaking up these final moments with Vivian being the only child. Enjoying our one-on-one time together and enjoying only getting one kid out of the car. Ha! I think she's knows something is about to happen because she's been waking up between 4:30-5:30 am for a week now. I think she wants as much mommy time as she can get. I can't wait to see how she reacts to her baby sister. She loves kissing my belly and saying, "Jo,Jo." I had to take her with me to a couple of ultrasounds and when she saw her on the monitor she screamed out her name. So adorable. I know they will be inseparable.
I still cannot believe I'll be a mommy to two little girls. Never in my wildest dreams thought this would happen. More so happen so quickly.
Until Joanna decides to arrive in the next week or so, we are going to have a lot of fun going to the park and beach, blowing bubbles, coloring, eating ice cream, shopping and anything else our heart desires. We are looking forward to meeting you Miss Joanna Grace!!!
