Can you believe I am 30 weeks along??!!! Because I sure can't. I remember being 10 weeks along and now I only have 10 weeks left until my due date....eeeekkk! The good thing is, I feel great. Other than a few aches and pains...and having to go to the bathroom literally every 5 minutes...I am really enjoying the experience. Believe me, I am so glad that I am saying that, because I always thought that I would be one of those girls who hated being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be pregnant forever, lol, but I can honestly say that the experience has been a good one and I truly have tried to enjoy and cherish this time. I look at it like, it took me a really long time to get pregnant and who knows if I ever will be again, so this 9 months really is a fleeting thing in the scheme of things.
THE BEST THINGS:
I love seeing my belly grow even though I don't feel sexy at all.
Feeling him and SEEING him move around is the most amazing feeling! I think I will miss it when it's over.
Getting good advice from my family and friends.
Seeing my young women get excited when they see me and my belly coming.
The cute comments from kids...for example: My friend Michelle's daughter who is 4 asked her out of the blue one day if she was going to marry my baby. LOL!!!! Oh how I love kids.
Feeling an incredible amount of love for a baby I haven't even met yet.
My friends threw me a baby shower a couple of weeks ago and it was so fun! It was really great to see friends I haven't seen in a long time come and support me. I was completely spoiled by everyone and feel much more prepared now. Thanks to all who participated!!!
Austin and I know someone who does ultrasounds, so a couple of days ago we were able to go and get a 3D ultrasound of the baby. At first he wouldn't cooperate and had both of his hands over his face, but after a while he finally brought them down and we were able to get some great shots, especially of his profile. The picture below is the last and best one that we were able to get. I can't stop looking at it! I can't describe the tender sweet feeling I get when I look at the photo's. I am so overwhelmed with joy! All I want to do is hold on to these feelings as long as I can.
