Why is it that people feel the need to tell you everything that is negative while you are pregnant? Especially the further along you get. Why does it seem that everyones "Birth Story" is more like a Horror story??!! Please stop telling me I will go past my due date (I know the facts and figures people - 36% before due date - 4% on due date - and 60% deliver after their due date), or that I'm gonna have a big baby (I am measuring on schedule, I have gained the appropriate amount of weight, and he is the right size for where I am at in my pregnancy) or {one more thing on that note} DO NOT look at me and say that I look like I'm going to have a pretty good size baby because I can only take that to mean one thing! Also, don't tell me that I might have twins because one could always be hiding (um... NO, we have had more ultrasounds than most do and the Doc shows us where all of Tanner's body parts are just by feeling my stomach, plus I'd be much much bigger right now), or when people feel the need to tell me how I won't sleep at all when he gets here (hey, well guess what, contrary to popular belief I actually will get more sleep because I have gotten zero the last couple of months... so bring him on and I will sleep whenever he chooses to {which WILL be MUCH more than what I get now, I promise you that}. But, I mean really, obviously one would know prior to being pregnant that the first 6-8 weeks or so after the baby is born may be a little tough... does that mean you shouldn't get pregnant?!) DUH, no it doesn't, so just shush about the small challenges we will face once he is born.
If this sounds like a long rant and rave... well, it is and I apologize. This last month is just kicking my butt and I need all the positiveness in my life that I can get. So maybe I will go past my due date, so maybe my baby will be ginormous or have a big head.. that's okay, lets just send out positive vibes for now in hopes that I have the best labor and delivery imaginable with the outcome of one very healthy and happy baby.

We are so excited for you and Matt. I think yall should go ahead and sign him up to be the baby of the month in their baby catalog! We can't wait to see how handsome he is and hear how smoothly everything went. So you can say HA! I did it damn it and it was not horrible like you made it out to be and my baby really is the cutest dang baby there is. :) Please let us know if we can do anything! Congrats again and enjoy your last few weeks carrying Tanner.
Sorry you're getting so much negative feedback! I know you've heard my story before, and as hard as it was, it was SOOOO worth it! No matter how tough things can get, you forget about it once that little guy is in your arms. I'm sure you will do fine, he will be great, and life will be more than wonderful after he arrives. Good for you for having a good attitude and not listening to all the negativity. There is too much positive to outweigh all that anyway. :)
