Belly

I am not sure about pregnancy (as this is our first one), but life these past 8 months has been super busy and going by super fast! I had so many plans as far as exercising, reading tons of books, organizing life, and enjoying time with Luke before it's the three of us. So far only a few of those have happened. School for Luke is busy, school for me is crazy and sometimes I feel like I am doing all I can to stay on top of that never mind preparing for maternity leave. We moved to a house, and going through the whole packing all your stuff up and unpacking doesn't help too much in the organizing department. I feel like we are finally settled into our new home; the dogs are loving the big fenced in backyard, we have too much room, and even have an extra room for our baby girl! What a blessing! Luke is working and going to school, I am working, testing, baby sitting whenever I can, and so we are staying insanely busy!

All that to say, we have had four days off of school so far because of the freezing temps and ice here in TX. It has been wonderful to rest and get over this cold thing that I have and not have to call out of work! All that to say I am sitting here ordering wall decals for our sweet baby's room when I looked at my email and received the confirmation of our registration for the hospital when she is ready to make her appearance, and I look down at my belly and just sit quite for a moment. Soaking up the reality that I am pregnant and can feel as well as see the movement of our daughter inside me. I am almost 8 months pregnant!!!!! A dream since I was two to have a baby is happening right in front of me! I cannot believe how fast time is going, and I know she will be here before Luke and I know it. He is going to be an amazing dad, and sometimes I don't know what I am more excited for; to see her or see him seeing her for the first time!

I cannot wait!
