it is week 31 now, the final home stretch of a pregnancy. the point where your body feels a bit harder to maneuver and aches and pains seem to appear out of nowhere -- but also the time where you begin to anticipate more clearly the arrival of this newest addition to the family. the time where you allow yourself to dream a bit more detailed as to who this little person may be, may become, what they may look like, and what they will be called. so in many ways, as uncomfortable as this last stretch may 'feel' it is truly the magic hour of anticipation.
