31.5 Weeks

I have been meaning to write and then I figured I would wait until I had pictures etc but time is slipping by. I realized this morning that I only have 57 days until my due date. It's all speeding up so quickly now. 7.5 weeks! I cannot believe it!

I have gained 23 pounds so far which I hear is really great from my doctor. She thinks everything is going wonderfully. Eve is moving around a TON in my tummy. It's very comforting to feel her. I think I will miss it once she is here but having her in front of me will be so much better I know!

Anthony has been working hard on the nursery. He is free hand drawing all of the Dr. Seuss characters. His talents amaze me daily. We have Horton sitting on top of the nest above the crib and it turned out so cool. On one wall we have the whole scene from the Lorax book. We also did Green Eggs and Ham. We are still fitting the sneeches, Cat in the Hat, Thidwick, Yertle etc in there somewhere. I am getting so excited to see it all come together.

Anthony had to leave town last week for a work trip and I was so sad to be without him for 4 nights. It's ridiculous I know but he's my best friend and I miss him so much when he's gone. Our marriage grows every single day and the minute I think I love him more than I thought possible, I love him even more. He's been so involved in this pregnancy and getting ready for the baby. I am so lucky to have found this man and I am so thankful for him each and every day. I hope it's not just the hormones ;)

I got my shower invites in the mail a few weeks ago and just started bawling (typical behaviour these days). I am so blessed to have the friends that I have and cannot wait to celebrate Eve coming into this world with my friends and family. It will be so much fun.

We are trying to prepare the dogs the best we can for her arrival. I think they will be fine.

I get overwhelmed with nesting projects and feel like my house is never going to be organized and picked up enough but then when I get home I am SO exhausted and hot that I can't do any of it.

Overall this has been a wonderful pregnancy. There are definitely some not so fun things about being pregnant in the heat but overall after trying for 2 years to have this little girl, I am happy.

Now I just can't wait to see her sweet face.
