99 days and counting... we're in the double-digits now! I never knew I could have so many different thoughts/emotions at the same time. In some ways, 3 months seems like an eternity before we get to meet our little boy...I won't miss being pregnant, I just want to meet him. I can't wait. And in the same moment, I sometimes think how I don't know if I'm ready for how much our life is about to change in just 14 short weeks. I have so much to do between now & then, and the days of independence, newlyweds, freedom are about to be forever gone. The former is definitely the stronger of the two thoughts. While I do get moments of "this is really for real, what were we thinking?! how are we going to do it?" they are far surpassed by the excitement and the anticipation of the changes this new little life will bring. Sure, life will never be the same, and it will surely be full of sacrifices and challenges, but there is a joy awaiting us that is completely worth it.

I remember feeling that way too...In fact, I remember crying one time in the shower (I was over 30 weeks at this point) b/c I was scared I wouldn't be able to be a mom...Mike reminded me that it was a little too late to second guess having a child :-)...Pregnancy hormones--they're a trip!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, life is going to change :-)...It's a good change though. :-)
