Looking at all the pictures that we have taken throughout this amazing journey, makes me really think about the evolution of a women's body. I have truly lucked out on having such an amazing pregnancy. Some days I think to myself how is it that my belly is still stretching? but week after week it keeps growing and it only reassures me that this baby is healthy and growing just like he should be. When I first found out I was pregnant of course I would read and read and read to prepare myself for what is to come. I came across comments that said don't be surprised of what people might say and I didn't understand until it started happening... for example: "is there two? how many you go in there? 7 or 8? You look like your about to explode..... what are you about 8 months? NO, actually I am 6 months.. WOW your going to be big huh? 

Yes the belly is big, but beautiful and the holding the most amazing miracle inside, a miracle that is going to forever change our lives. 

Indeed I am about to "explode" this journey of my first pregnancy is coming to an end. At times I get that moment of claustrophobia when my boobs touch my belly or for once in my life food misses my chest and hits my belly ha ha and when my belly touches my legs and I haven't see my feet in months and my ankles are now kankles and I am gasping for air because baby is on my lungs. Then looking in the mirror and trying to remember what my body used to look like, and will it ever look like that again? Will these stretch marks fade and will my hair fall out after baby comes? but then I think my body is holding and making another human.. another human is going to be entering this world all because of me. A handsome 8lb cute nose and big foot baby boy that I will soon be seeing in the flesh.. ahhhh 

As far as baby progress.. we are progressing slowly.....but surely this little man will make it into this amazing world with many loved ones waiting for his arrival. I have been peeing and having BH contractions, lots of pressure in my pelvis and yes the pregnancy waddle has officially come. The waiting game is on and and every weird pain I think "what was that?" "Could this be it?" thinking I need to get that bathroom clean one more time, I still need to vacuum. I feel like you prepare for 10 months but that times comes when your in the final countdown and you try to prepare some more, but guess what baby is going to come when he is ready, whether we are or not and that is okay!! We are ready to meet him and who cares if we need to vacuum or maybe there is a few dirty dishes in the sink, this is life and those can wait. We are ready to be parents and thats all that matters. 

YES. its starting to sink in I AM GOING TO BE A MOM and we will have to take care of this little human who relies on us and only us for a very long time!! 

ANY DAY NOW.. we are ready for you baby boy!!

plus you will all get to find out his name very soon!! 

Cant wait to tell you!
