Well, this pregnancy is coming to a close and I have mixed emotions about it. I have loved being pregnant so much and overall have felt great, so in a way I'm going to miss it. Having a life inside of you is an amazing experience. I have really enjoyed switching the focus, in a whole new way, from myself to another human being; like 'how can I be healthier so little Burke grows the way he needs to', or 'no, I choose to keep my mouth shut right now because....well, it's not fair to snap at Stu just because I'm feeling hormonal :)'. That has worked really well by the way! :) And I love feeling the baby move, or wondering if he's sleeping when he's holding still. I can hardly believe that I'll be holding and kissing that little elbow that has jabbed me for so long, and those little feet that have endlessly kicked my belly and ribs. Although I am anxious, I feel so ready to be a Mom. I've wanted kids for so long, but the timing couldn't be better. Being married to Stu sets the 'family' foundation that I've always dreamed of. It has been so fun preparing for our baby together.... and I can't believe it's almost here! Burke we can't wait to meet you!!
From clothes and toys and a bassinet to advice and support and books, we've been showered with so many great things from friends and family to help us to be as ready as we are. Thank you to everyone, we love you!
We'll keep you posted with pictures of Burke as he arrives and grows.
You look so beautiful! I am so happy for you and for your new little family and I am so happy that you found Stu. I know you are going to be a good mom and I can't wait meet Burke as well. See you on Feb. 17th!
