The Past 40 Weeks

The day is finally here, I have reached my due date! As I sit here and not-so-patiently wait for my Nugget to make her grand entrance, I think back to the past 40 weeks and can't believe how fast it's all gone. I don't think it's ever going to sink in that this is the end and any day now I could be holding my daughter for the first time.  

Watching my belly {and boobs and butt and thighs and arms} grow has been quite an adventure. I will say it's not easy getting bigger and bigger and watching that number on the scale get higher and higher but it really has been quite incredible seeing my body change, especially knowing that it's all for my baby! I really can't get over how crazy this whole pregnancy thing is....it will forever blow my mind that it is even possible for all of this to happen. Nothing short of a miracle, for sure. 

I think back to the day I saw that positive pregnancy test and though it feels like it was FOREVER ago, I can't believe that since that day I have grown a full-sized human baby. I remember that first ultrasound and seeing that little blip on the screen and now I can feel her foot, I know where her bony little butt is and any day now she will be in my arms....it's all just so incredible.

It's been 9 months filled with love, excitement and celebrations and while I won't miss the sore back, the food aversions and always being volunteered as the designated driver, I will miss the extra TLC from family, friends and even strangers and most of all will miss feeling my baby move inside of me. It's a feeling that is indescribable and is most definitely the best part of being pregnant. Selfishly, I will miss being the only one to have that connection with her, BUT, there's no doubt that I am ready to share this little princess with the world. 

Any day now....
