38 weeks! And chasing a very active little boy!

I don't have to tell you mothers of 2 or more children how I am feeling. You know! It is not easy being 38 weeks pregnant and chasing around another child. And not to mention if they are about to turn 2 and bursting with so much energy you think to yourself, "If I only had half his energy!"
As a huge praise, I haven't dealt with anymore kidney stone issues since Christmas. That has been an answer to prayer. Now, I am just dealing with the end of pregnancy symptoms that we all love: back aches, pressure from the baby dropping, and a new one as of last night-I honestly think I feel my bones separating!
All of my appointments have gone great. I will go back to the Dr. next Wednesday for my 39 week appointment, but so far so good. My blood pressure, weight, etc. is all good and her heartbeat has sounded great. As a side note, that is Jeremiah's favorite part of the appointment. He LOVES to hear Evie's heartbeat. He copies the sound with his mouth and nods his head at the same time-so cute. I am progressing a little bit, but not a ton.
So a prayer request: please join me in praying that I will go into labor on my own and that I won't have to be induced.
And as for Jeremiah-(aka: wild man) he is doing great. We are cutting more teeth. He only has 4 more to go and we will done. But basically he and I are just hanging out enjoying time together. We have been playing outside a lot since the weather is getting warmer. His vocabulary is growing daily and he still loves the Backyardigans!
Oh and 2 cute Jeremiah stories:
1. When he gets in the bathtub at night, I lean down really close to his face and ask him if the warm water feels good. He looks up at me, smiling and says, "Good!" And then proceeds to give me a kiss.
2. This morning he was eating breakfast and I asked him, "Jeremiah, do you know that you are going to have a sister soon?" And he immediately pointed to my belly.

Sorry for not pictures-hopefully we can get some up soon!

I can't believe you're almost there! So exciting! I feel like this pregnancy has flown by (although I'm sure you might disagree:)). Cannot wait for the big day!
