"Still Waiting"


Hooray! It's November!  Our baby is coming in 5 days or less!  This time next weekend, we will be holding our baby in our arms. I was watching the clock yesterday very closely hoping that this little guy would not make his debut on Halloween. Once I got to 9:00 last night, I figured that we were in the clear and there was no way he could be born on Halloween!  This pregnancy has been the most amazing journey for me. I am so ready to meet my son, but at the same time, I am grieving that this pregnancy is almost over. I know, I know...., "grieving that this pregnancy is almost over"?  I have loved being pregnant. I have waited so long for this and have truly loved every minute of it..., yes, even the aches, pains, frequent trips to the bathroom, and lack of sleep. Feeling my son kicking inside of me and developing a bond with him that no one else will ever have has been the most humbling and beautiful experience of my life. I look forward to a lifetime of more bonding...., and I must admit, getting my body back!!

We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of this precious gift from God. Erin, you are a glowing and beautiful pregnant woman and I'm so thankful that we have been able to share being pregnant at the same time together. Now's it's time for all of the cousins to finally meet and begin a lifetime of fun and memories together! I love you and Jay and my newphew so much!!
