Yesterday was my 23rd birthday and I couldn't be reminded more of the blessings I have in my life : A loving husband, great friends, and of course wonderful family members. Thank you everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday- it meant a lot.
This birthday was a lot different than all of my other 22 birthdays mainly because it was the first time I was pregnant on my birthday. This comes with a lot of challenges during the summer like no water-parks, theme parks, white water rafting, zip-lines, going on a road trip, visiting family, even just going on a mild hike ( it's TOO HOT!). But it was a great reminder of a greater adventure ahead: becoming a mother :)
However, I keep thinking that I am going to be pregnant FOREVER! haha And as much of a blessing it has been to be able to be the vessel that has helped this baby grow and mature to a state where it can grow on its own, I still can't wait for her to come out!I now know what all women talk about when they say the end of the pregnancy is not the funnest part- It's hard to find energy to get things done, you're constantly wondering when the baby will arrive, how you will react,what they will look like, if the pains will ever be over, if you have everything you need, and are you going to be ready.
As ready as I think I am, I know that when the time comes to get to the hospital to deliver this girl, I will be crazy-scared and nervous. As for right now, I am just anxious and ready to get the painful stuff out of the way.
Yes, only 10 more days til our little girl is suppose to be making her debut. Of course, it's always possible she may be shy like her mother and not want to come out for another week---but lets hope not :)
Here we are at 38 weeks!
We are so excited for Alexa to come already, but we are also getting very excited for the change and adventure that our family is about to undertake within a month------we are moving AGAIN. This time the move wont be as easy since we will be out of our apartment by the 1st of September; this means we have to wait til Alexa is here and settled then we can start to make the transition. As chaotic as it will be moving, we are so excited for this change :) we'll keep you posted!!!!
We love you all! 10 more DAYS-ish!!!!
