i'm ready...

These past few nights have not been my favorite. Going to bed is no longer a fun thing for it is my most uncomfortable time. Falling asleep takes hours it seems and if I am woken up in the night, it is hundreds more hours to fall asleep again... My baby just wants to hurt me and it is rude. I had a doctors appointment on Monday and my midwife told me she thinks I will deliver early, that my baby has scooted down quite a bit. Yahoo! Come on any time now. 

On another happy baby note, I have received everything I need for this little man to come. My hospital bag is packed. And the prettiest of all are these swaddles my mom sent me! I die.

I mean really! Cutest little birds!

happy things...

It has been over a month since I have written anything and I feel like I have just been the busiest person in the world who hasn't gotten anything done. In the art world I have been consumed with portraits, invitations, and experimenting with new patterns for my little business. In J's and my world, days have been lonely and weeks have been long as J has been working 60 hours for the past couple weeks with one day off and will continue to do this probably for the rest of his rotation through June.  Though its sad for me, and hard for J, the timing is perfect as financial needs arise, God provides. Since January, it has been a never ending stream of gifts at my door providing every necessity and more in preparation for this little baby to get here. We are so blessed and so excited as we wrap up the last few weeks. 

I have been so blessed with such an easy pregnancy. I feel great, my belly isn't that big or burdensome and I am still able to achieve all I need in a day. It takes me a little longer to fall asleep but feel well rested in the mornings, aches and pains have been at a minimum, and I still love feeling this little baby move inside of me just as I did the first time I felt it. My belly is J's favorite thing in the whole world I am almost sad to see it go...almost... I am very excited to drink a margarita when this is done (probably 2) and I love my little baby corner more than anything and cannot wait for it to be used.
