I'm doing 31 things
I love how involved my husband is with my pregnancy! My favorites are when he rubs my tummy, gets excited about the baby kicking, holds my big tummy in his arms at night and asks (or calls when we’re working and apart) how the “kid” is doing! I honestly believe our son can feel that emotional connection to him already ♥

So, it is official (and has been for some time)... This past August 2010, I apparently became pregnant! It wasn’t until late in September during my 8th week of pregnancy that it was confirmed by both a home pregnancy test and a doctor’s exam that our fate of parenthood was sealed :D I am currently close to 7 months pregnant, due in May, and couldn’t be more ecstatic! My husband and I are excited to welcome our son into the world soon and have been busy getting essentials for his nursery, going on our final twosome dates and just mentally adjusting to the new change that is soon to occur! I know in my original entry I expressed doubt about motherhood, but quite honestly the moment the home pregnancy test revealed its life altering answer, I can’t begin to express the absolute JOY and exhilaration that immediately surged through me when I saw the words “pregnant”! The whole pregnancy has been an absolute pleasure albeit the couple months of nausea and food aversions, but truly, I am enjoying every moment of this journey and am beyond grateful to share such a special rite of passage with my wonderful husband!
I don’t have any time to be on this site for awhile, so I will be taking a loooong hiatus. It’s needed right now.
