The Roo Theory

The countdown to Baby Perla’s highly anticipated arrival is closing in! Unless Baby Perla is an expert gymnast and can somersault its way through the obstacle course into the “head down” position, the C Section date is set for Dec.10. That is under 5 weeks away!

I am at the point right now where I want this baby out of me, yesterday. I am uncomfortable all the time, I lost count at how many times I get up to go to the bathroom each night and my hips feel like they are going to dislodge from my pelvis. As much as I complain about how uncomfortable I am and how I so want to be done being pregnant, I can’t help but think that my life will never be this easy again – ever.

Let me explain. Right now, Baby Perla goes everywhere I go; we’re a package “Kangaroo-like” deal. I don’t have to worry about packing a bag each time we leave the house. I don’t have to think about bundling a baby up each time we go anywhere. The baby is warm, quiet, happy, quiet and content inside the womb, did I mention quiet? My body feeds the baby on its own. I can go to work, go shopping and go to Doctor appointments with ease (except getting in and out of the car). Once Baby Perla arrives, he/she will still be going everywhere with me, but with much more gear, equipment and difficulty!

Although my everyday life has not changed much, it will in a few short weeks. I am okay with that, in fact, I can’t wait for it all to change. Yes, some things will be more challenging then they are now. My life will be completely turned upside down. I am a creature of habit, so all my routines will go out the window. But, what other time in life can you be so excited for your life to change so drastically?

Although parts of my everyday life may be simple right now, I am aware that it will all change. And that is okay because something is missing right now from our family. That something will make its entrance into my and Brian's life and fill every ounce of our hearts with love.
