That is the number of days that I will feel the secret of being kicked and tickled from the inside.
That is the number of days that I will feel my baby hiccuping inside me like he is now.
That is the number of days before our family grows to five.
That is the number of days that I have to emotionally and physically prepare for the birth of our last child.
That is the number of days until I can see the baby that God created for us.
That is the number of days I have to live with swollen, achy legs.
That is the number of days until our family's love will overflow.
Ten.

This gave me goosebumps.
I remember that feeling, those thoughts. I remember thinking how I would miss ever having a life inside me again. I still sometimes feel a sense of loss over that part of my life being done and over.
BUT, our life is so FULL and busy and fun now. And as much as I sometimes miss those flutters and kicks and hiccups (those were my favorite!), I also know that I can't just keep having babies! I mean, I guess I could, but I won't!
I guess what I'm saying is, enjoy these last ten days to their fullest, and once they are done, you will have your new precious baby filling your arms. Hiccuping sweet newborn hiccups that you can see!
I am so excited for you!
Oh, and I don't know your plan for the baby's blog name, but what about Wonder baby?!
Okay, maybe it's too cheesey :)
Ten days until we get a new cousin!!
MMMMM... I can't wait to hold and rock Wonder Baby and smell that sweet sweet newborn smell.
I can't wait to play with his little fingers and little toes.
I can't wait to see the amazement and happiness on Elle's face when she meets her newest cousin.
I can't wait for little baby W!
I ran across your blog and what a sweet intro for me to you via blogworld. Congratulations on your new baby soon.

I hope that these last 10 days are everything you hope they will be.
Can't wait to meet the newest member to such a great family.
my how Christmas will be filled with such sweet baby smells this year.
Wow! Only 10 days?!
I totally understand how you're feeling. But I can't wait to get to the 10 day mark!
I can't wait to see those ten precious fingers and ten chubby toes. Savor it...love you.
what a sweet and tender entry...
I hope these 10 days go really slow, and really fast. :-)
I am so excited for you and your family. I can't wait to see the pictures of the new little guy. Enjoy the last days of pregnancy.
WOW 10 Days!!! I can't wait to see pictures!! I remember thinking after I had Ruthie, that I missed feeling her inside of me (it's a sweet secret bond kinda thing, isn't it?) Sure do wish I could meet you when we're there this summer, but since you'll still be in the hospital with lil' Poppy... think you'll be preoccupied. Maybe next time!! We'll be praying for you!!
9 more days! Congrats to hanging in there. May God bless you with another healthy bundle of joy! :o)
Forgive me for not knowing, but is it 10 days until your due date or 10 days until a scheduled C-Section?
Either way, this is a great post. I love that you are enjoying the precious moments of feeling the life inside of you, and I CAN'T WAIT to meet this new little love!
What a beautiful picture of what it's like to be on the cusp of the rest of your life :)
Praying for a safe delivery. God bless you, Janelle!
