I'm almost done with my Anatomy Class that will be a huge relief and honestly anytime after 10:30 (July 22) I am ready for my baby to be here! I really can't wait..But before then, We have a nursery to finish...The walls went from baby blue to beige [we like to make things hard on ourselves], I guess I should say Brandon has a nursery to finish! He's putting up wainscoating! and we finally got the bedding! I havent been much help with the room but that is proably a good thing, Things will look much better that way!! Other than that..I have my baby shower this Thursday! I'm anxious to see all of the cute things everyone picked out for Tate and I know it will get me even more excited to be a mom!
And possibly the fact that the picture in the post below might leave a few of you in shock when you next see me, I no longer have that tiny belly, it really does grow bigger by the day! But I guess I should have known that before now! Not only is my tummy bigger but I seem to have hmmm....blown up this last week! Literally my feet and ankles and legs look like balloons, probably the most unattractive thing I've ever seen in my life but I've managed to just laugh it off most days! And Brandon gets some good laughs in every now and then too! If you see me..and my ankles are exposed, please remind me to wear jeans:) Sometimes I forget with this 115 degree weather and can't help it! I even had my nephew run up to me at dinner the other night asking if my feet were still fat, That's when you know it's gone a little too far at least he wasn't telling me something I didn't already know. Just a little over a month more of this..
Honestly typing that last sentence made me a little sad..I love the idea of meeting my baby boy but theres already days I don't feel him wiggling around in my stomach for a few hours and I already miss him at that point, I might just miss these side aches, sleepless night and karate kicks to my ribs pretty soon here. I know men have no idea what it's like to be pregnant and some may say that they are lucky but to me every little bit of it has been so worth it and even exciting. I think a smile comes to my face everytime I feel his little arm or foot against my stomach, Ya....I will miss it..There's nothing like this, absolutely no comparison.

You are so amazing MaKenna! I had never really thought of the true joy of being pregnant, just the "I am uncomfortable and will it ever get here!" I love you! Charilla
ReplyDeleteOh Charilla! I definitely have those days too! I won't miss all of it, but there's a few little things that just make make me smile every now and then! I'm bummed you cant come to the shower, I will have to post some pictures and I'm sure we'll see you soon once Tate is here! :) Love Ya!
