I got my maternity pictures back today and I've been tearing up every time I look through them. They are beautiful and capture perfectly the feeling of this pregnancy; causal, fun and full of family time. That is exactly how the past 35 weeks have felt. Very different from the first time, which was just as perfect, but more hectic (classes, showers, shopping, reading, waiting, worrying). This one has been more easy-going. It's been about spending special time with just the 3 of us, enjoying, celebrating with small groups of people; family and friends... no reading, no worrying, no hectic pace. The blessings I feel are unmeasurable. I feel so lucky to have had 2 great pregnancy's and I just pray that this baby's delivery is as safe and healthy as my first.
Seeing these pictures has been a realization that in just a few weeks, he'll be here with us! This makes me feel 1.) freaked out...because, how was that 40 weeks? 2.) So excited 3.) Nervous about the unknown of being a mom of two. I can do this! I am ready! Baby is big (and so is momma) measuring about 2 weeks ahead of schedule (just like big brother). It's time. Time to turn this family of 3 into 4, time for new challenges, joys, memories and traditions. 35 weeks and counting....let's do this :)
