I think this is the title of a country song, but even if it’s not it still rings true. You really don't think about it when you’re going through it of what a blessing it all is. I know I have a tendency to complain sometimes but that’s just me venting, it really is the most rewarding experience of my life. Forget about the swelling, forget worrying about the “pressures” (blood pressure that is), the unexplained rash, the back pain, or the weight gain….when all is said and done none of that matters. When you feel your little one moving around in there, or you see your belly physically move from one side to the next for the first time, or when your belly becomes lopsided because she's all nestled in on one side, none of that ever crosses your mind. I would take all of that and more just for that feeling, that closeness - there's nothing else like it. This is honestly the best thing that I've ever done.J
I'm especially going to miss it because I know they don't stay little for long. One minute they are snuggled in your arms and you're protecting them from the world, the next they are crawling, walking, going to school, prom, leaving for college, getting married, having kids of their own. In one big blur it's all over. Not to mention those fun in between stages where she hates you because you won't let her stay out past 10, or she's not aloud to see that boy anymore because he's nothing but trouble, or how she needs to wear longer shorts and less makeup... I'm gonna look back on this time and really miss it.

Having said all that, I'm ready to meet this little lady. I have about 4 weeks left and I'm counting down the days. Her room is ready, the house is ready.....we're ready. I'm ready for our little family to have our plus one.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! I can't believe Easter has come and gone already. Where has the time gone? We spent Sunday at my parent's house having an Easter egg hunt with the kiddos.
My niece and nephew, how cute are they?
My brother, Kelly, PJ and Katelyn. Such a cute family. J
