For so long I've sort of felt like this pregnancy is moving along slowly. When I was first pregnant and very sick it seemed as if the weeks would never, ever pass. I remember thinking that if I could just make it to 12 weeks then maybe I would start to feel better. That was a great goal initially but it took a lot longer to feel better.
Then just as I was starting to feel a bit human I had to wrap things up with my job. That was a bit of a drain and it seemed again as if the weeks crawled along as the count down to my new stay at home mom gig would begin.
Now I find myself up to my chin in summer fun and finally, finally feeling good. I'm starting to, dare I say, enjoy this pregnancy just as I am entering into the final weeks. There are so many mixed emotions that go along with this time in all of our lives.
The kids and I are absolutely have a blast so far this summer. We are constantly on the go, attending play dates, swimming at Mimi and Pappy's, playing in our new bounce house. We have only just begun to skim the surface of a very busy two months. I knew when I decided to quit my job that I wanted to have the summer with them - just the three of us- and I'm so glad that I did. They are such awesome kids and I know none of us will ever forget this precious time together. So of course I get a little misty eyed thinking that everything around us is about to change. This is the last summer that Cooper will be my baby. Next summer things will be so different. I'm not a person who is opposed to change but I am a person who hates anticipating the change.
But, tomorrow my sweet Gram is hosting a baby shower for me and I have to admit that it makes all of us a bit excited about the new baby's impending arrival. It's definitely starting to seem more real to everyone in our house as we prepare "stuff" and space for her. It's just so hard to picture her actually being here with us and becoming a part of us. I know she is going to complete our family and bring us such joy - she already has.
