Reality Sets In

One of the typical questions I get at this point of my pregnancy is "are you ready for it to be over" and in reality that is the hardest question to answer. I've been so lucky with how I've felt the whole time that I have never minded being pregnant (besides missing my glasses of wine!). I get tired a little quicker, have some slight swelling in my hands and feet, and of course some aches and pains from the extra weight. Overall though, the last couple weeks haven't been bad and I am happy to wait a couple more!

Of course I can't wait to meet our precious little girl, but it is a scary as well. Jordan and I are so used to it being just the two of us. Things will be different with a baby, activities will take a little more planning, relaxing nights on the couch will be fewer, and date nights will have new meaning. And of course add in the fact that you have a new little person that you are responsible for. Never again will it only be each other that we worry about, but there will always be someone else whose life seems bigger and more important than your own. Don't get me wrong, we of course realized this back when we chose to have a family, but reality sets in a little more when the future is not so far away!

Even though that it may be scary and things may change, we are very ready to start our family. To have someone to love and love us unconditionally is an amazing thought. With all the nerves and anxiousness we are getting to experience the joy of parenthood. We'll take the bad and the good; smiles and tears, laughter and tantrums. Our little girl is going to open our eyes to a whole new world.

 If she wants to give us a couple more weeks to adjust though, we'd be perfectly okay with that too!!
