Contractions and cramps

I'm starting to have them more and more regularly now. A sign he might come soon? I hope he stays in there for another two weeks though, because I just don't think he's ready yet. I'm only 35 weeks along. But all is starting to be very uncomfortable now. I can't sleep and eat as well, only averaging 3-4 hours of sleep a night. 

I have finally decided to take some self portraits to document this last phase of my pregnancy. I feel like this will be the last time I carry a child, so I want to have some personal record of one of the greatest celebration of womanhood. The ability to be able to conceive and carry a child through birth is a beautiful blessing that often gets taken for granted. I am so honor to have been given the opportunity to experience one of life's greatest gifts, not just once, but twice. Thank you, God.

I'll find some time to do the portraits this weekend, and hopefully share some with the rest of you.
