Pregnancy Update

I am now in my last month of pregnancy. It feels like I have been pregnant forever! My due date is August 31st, but if he came a week early… there would be no complaints! Now that I have four weeks to go, my body feels extremely pregnant. The rest of the pregnancy has been pretty easy and without any major issues. I have been very thankful for that. Well, now my body is making up for lost time! I am puffy everywhere, my belly got huge and my back has been sore. All normal, I think.

George and I will be traveling to Kenya in a couple days. When we get there, we have to find a place to stay and decide where to deliver. We are thinking about Kisumu or Kericho at a hospital where George used to work.

I think we are ready for the baby to come. We packed everything we need into a suitcase and are ready to meet him. A friend of mine from the US is helping me prepare as much as possible for a natural delivery.

I don't have a good shot of me pregnant. Here is one that was taken a week ago. The angle isn't quite right... my belly is much bigger than this looks.

Here is another angle. This photo was taken from far away, but I cropped it so you can better see it.

It seems surreal this is all happening. I don’t think it will feel real until Baby Eli is with us. Yep, we have settled on his name. Eli Orwa it is! :)
