I realize I love him already...

He hasn't been born yet. 36 weeks along. Maybe it's silly but I just feel so much love and protective instinct for him already. I don't have any other children and I don't know if I'll be able to have any more after him due to my age. So I feel like he's more precious to me than anyone else right now. I know it's probably risky to imagine too much what he'll be like, since he might be completely different and not as perfect as I'm imagining. That's ok. Just had to share this feeling:)

I have loved my little baby since the day the stick turned positive. Now that I'm almost 36 weeks, I couldn't imagine life without him/her. A few weeks ago, I felt very few movements and then nothing for most of a day. I went to the doctor and cried when I finally was able to hear baby's heartbeat. The doctor had me hooked up to the fetal monitor for a good 20 min and I was so happy to see baby moving. It's amazing how I haven't even met my baby yet, yet I already love my baby more than anything in this world.

So not silly at all!! I'm at 35 weeks and feel like I am missing my LO in a way. I don't really have a better way to describe it. I keep looking at the crib thinking it seems so empty and it's ready to have a tiny resident (the cat does NOT count no matter what she thinks). I know I'm carrying him with me wherever I go but my arms feel empty and are ready for cuddles. Gosh I am getting sappy!

Definitely not a silly feeling! I was just thinking to myself how much my baby means to me and how she's already the center of my universe. I'm almost 39 weeks and I am getting really antsy about meeting her! I just want to hold her and take care of her. I know she's almost ready to come into the world but it still feels like forever!

Every so often I get this visceral urge to defend my baby Against all harm disappointment and pain. It's extremely overwhelming. I ask my self "where did that come from?" Because it's such an intense feeling. That kind of connection is amazing and incomprehensible.
