My growing belly at 7 months

So, before this last month I wanted to post how much fun I'm having being pregnant. Unfortunately, the last month hasn't been quite so much fun. I forget how uncomfortable it starts getting towards the end: back pains, other pains, belly getting in the way, etc. Plus on top of that I've just been sick one thing after another for the past month or so. The kids and I have passed around colds and flu and I've had an infection and it's just been no fun. Despite the complaints, and really feeling ready to be done being pregnant, I still have to say that I love pregnancy as a whole. It is such a miracle to have this little body growing inside of me. I always just feel special being pregnant. Plus, I feel I have an excuse to sit around and relax more :). Besides some minor nausea the first few months, and the sicknesses of the last month, I've felt quite well. My baby is very active and always moving around. I am due in about 5 more weeks, May 10. We did not find out this time if it's a boy or girl which has been really fun. I really don't have much inclination, one way or the other, which it is. Lately I'm leaning more towards girl, though Chad's holding out for another boy (always :). Either way, I'm happy. I have both, so either will be great. I'm getting excited to have this little newborn to hold (and be able to stop referring to the baby as "it"...), but I am nervous, also, since my two babies were quite fussy and difficult. I am very excited to be having this baby in Spring rather than the late fall, that'll be so nice!
