Full Term, This & That...

Lately, my mind is a jumble of to-do lists, daydreams, a little worry, and a whole lot of excitement.  Today marks 37 weeks....which means BabyD is officially full term!  Hooray!  This also means that we'll be meeting our little one so very soon! 

Now, if I'm still holding on three weeks from now, I may eat these words, but as of right now, I still maintain that this pregnancy has flown by.  Until just the last week or so, I've had the smoothest pregnancy I could ask for, really.  And even the last week hasn't been horrible by any stretch. 

I have noticed that the hormonal emotional "stuff" has ramped up.  I'm sort of able to cry at the drop of a hat, and my fuse is getting shorter as well.

Yesterday, my fingers kept going numb at work, which was super annoying.  The doctors office said that most likely BabyD is lying on a nerve.  I felt off all day too, and ended up cutting out a half hour early to go home and lie down.

Feeling much better this morning, and hoping it continues.

Last night I found myself in tears following an hour on hold with the cable company only to find the information I needed stuck to the side of the new router.  Ugh. 

As I type this, BabyD is kicking around in my belly...I know I'm gonna miss this.  {And, now I'm feeling those tears welling up.}  But, I can't wait to meet this little person.  To look into his/her eyes, and to be their mama.  I can't wait for the first time Jon makes BabyD crack up.  I have a feeling that's gonna happen alot, and I'm gonna love it every single time.  And, don't even get me started on Christmas.  We're gonna have a little one at Christmas!  I've dreamed of that for so long.

Life is good.  I'm nervous, but oh so grateful for this gift.  I cannot imagine what we're about to experience, and I'm determined to soak up every single drop.  

Happy Friday, a Little Anxiety and Winners Announced!

It's Friday once again, friends!  Am I the only one who thinks the weeks are flying by?  I can't seem to keep up anymore.

Tomorrow marks one month til our due date.....how crazy is that!?  I find myself in a state of denial lately.  I can't quite seem to wrap my brain around the fact that we're having a baby, let alone that we're having it within the next few weeks!  I say to Jon at least once a day, "do you realize we're about to be parents?"  He's much more chill about it than I am, and doesn't seem quite as perplexed by it as I am.  I guess that sort of makes sense considering he doesn't have labor to look forward to.....OMG.  I have to give birth to a person.....seriously, people!  How did this happen!? 

Don't get me wrong, I'm getting so excited to meet this little person!  I just can't believe it's really real.  This thing I've been dreaming  of my whole life is about to happen.  Motherhood.  I'm gonna be someone's mom!  Sometimes I try to imagine what it will be like two months from now.  I know there's no way for me to fathom what's about to happen to my life, and my heart...but I still try.

I also find myself getting sentimental about the ending of the phase of just Jon and I.  We've dreamed of a family for so long, but I can't help but be a little sad to see our 'just us' time end.

Am I normal?  Or, is this all evidence that I'm going to be a horrible mother?  

Please reassure me.

Also, the Baby Shower Event was a huge success!  Winners have been announced on the posts!  I'm so excited to see some familiar names among the winners!  Thanks for the blog love, everyone!

I'll be contacting the winners today to get your information to pass along to our sponsors.  Hooray!

Happy Friday, friends.  Have a great weekend! 

October....

It's October.  October!

{did you know if you see the word October too many times it starts looking really weird!?}

Anyway....there is a chance we could meet BabyD this month!  He/She would have to be about a week early to sneak in on Halloween, but that's entirely possible, right? 

I'm not sure if I've talked about this on here before, but I am actually guessing BabyD will make his/her arrival during the last week of October.  Just a feeling I've had all along.  See, Jon's entire family celebrates birthdays during that week.  It's Davis birthday week.  Jon's is the 22nd, his dad's is the 25th, and his mom's is the 30th.  It would seem fitting for the next generation of the Davis family to make its appearance then too, would it not?  I guess early November would still be pretty close, but I just think this is an October baby.

And yes, I know that first babies "usually don't come early", and I'm probably setting myself up for a miserable last couple weeks of pregnancy because I'll be thinking BabyD should be here before they're actually due.  But, that's just my mama's intuition.  So there.  We shall see.

In other news, the nursery is done!  And by done I mean, finished except for a couple minor tweaks.  Finished right on schedule as we'd planned, but the beginning of October.  I love it so much, and cannot wait to share it with you!  I spent a good 30-45 minutes just sitting in there last night taking it all in.  It's just perfect, and has just the feel I was going for.  My husband is a total rock star for bringing my vision to life.   

Also with October comes pumpkins, and fall leaves, and fall smells.  I love it.

Happy October!
