31 Weeks

_MG_1302

This past Monday I hit the 31 week point in my pregnancy. I can't believe I am so close to the end, and like a lot of things in life it's bittersweet.

I am so very excited to meet this miracle that has been growing for the past 31 weeks and find out if we have another girl or boy. I am excited to see what genetic makeup he or she will have, dark hair, blonde, blue eyes or could I end up with a redhead like my dad?

At the same time I'm sad knowing that this is our last pregnancy. I LOVE being pregnant. Watching and feeling my body change and the life inside me grow is truly experiencing one of God's most amazing miracles. I am doing my best to look past my swollen feet, achy back and ribs, the sleepless nights where you pee every ten minutes and breathe in and memorize the miracle that is taking place.

I am going to do my best to document for myself these next 9 weeks (and possibly more), until we finally hold this sweet baby in our arms and thank and praise God, because we are greatly blessed!

So beautiful and you are not huge at all. I have no idea what those people were talking about.

I'm so happy for you and your family! I'm also curious to see who this little one takes after!
