8 days.

My due date is 8 days away!
So crazy.
It feels like this moment has come so fast,
yet now is CRAWLING.
Typically pregnant lady comment I know.
I am so impatient because I want Wyatt to be here already..
I want to see his face and hold him, and kiss him.
I want to meet my son, the little guy who has been
rolling around inside me for so long now.

I am also SICK of being pregnant.
I am ready to have my body back
and to be mobile.
I'm ready to wear normal clothes again
and to just feel like myself again.
My aunt told me you feel like that so when the end comes
you're ready to go through the ordeal of labor.
I will say I am not scared of labor.
I thought I would be
and
maybe I'm in denial about it, but I haven't really thought about it too much.
I know it's going to hurt..but I'm not scared of the pain.
Pain is to be expected.
I have a really high pain tolerance
and I know Will is going to be a good coach for me.

Speaking of the dad-to-be..
Will has been amazing this whole pregnancy.
It has been a very easy and smooth 9 months,
and he kept me in good spirits the whole time.
He kept me laughing and smiling the whole time,
and I'm very grateful for him.

We got to spend a lot of time together on little adventures we had this year.
I never really blogged anything about our summer.
We did a couple road trips to Vegas
in May and June to see his mom.
The road trips were SO much fun just because we got
to hang out for hours and talk about our life,
and just laugh.
We also went to Wyoming for the 4th of July
to see his uncle and aunt.
We also went on a few camping trips with friends,
the last one being over Labor Day weekend.
Wyatt went camping a total of 4 times before
he was born.

As D-Day gets closer (hopefully any time now) we are getting
a little nervous just because we have NO IDEA
what to expect.
We are both excited for this little guy to add to our family
and are looking forward to this awesome next step in our life.

Well here's to the countdown
of Wyatt...
and we hope to meet him SOON!

He's Almost Here...!!


36 weeks

Ok so it's been a quick minute since I last blogged...I know I've been terrible.
Today I am: 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant.
37 weeks tomorrow..HOLLA!

Thursday, September 29th was my last day of work. It was bittersweet. I've worked since I was 16 and had been at ACS for over 3 years so NOT working is kinda new to me. This week was my first week of not working and I will admit being 9 months pregnant and just getting to have my own schedule has been nice. Now when I say that let's remember 9 months pregnant so I really haven't done much except lounge with my big belly and try to do some baby things I have not done in the last 9 months.

I have most of my hospital bag packed, including Wyatt's things to bring him home. I washed all his clothes and most blankets. Mostly I just want him to be here already. It's been 9 months and the end is SOOOO close. I just wanna hold him in my arms instead of feeling him jab and kick me from the inside.

I have had a couple friends have their baby and can I just say BABY ENVY! I want mine NOW. ahaha. I had my baby showers which were awesome and Wyatt got a lot of cute stuff.
Being a first time mom this baby stuff is all very unknown to me. Of course I'm excited for him, but I know there's a lot of hard work heading my way real quick as well. I kept telling my cousin Shara that I was excited to sleep on my stomach again..her response?
"Sleep is the key word, and you won't get much of it for awhile."

Oh man. I like to think I've actually done quite well considering it's my first pregnancy. No real morning sickness, no bad mood swings, no emotional break downs (although I do tear up for songs, commercials, etc sometimes), and no control freak outs. I impressed myself with my ability to just go with the flow this whole time, because stressing doesn't help and it won't change things. I hope to continue this thought process once Wyatt comes because I've learned that when you expect things to be a certain way they never end up that way. So I am just going with it...

I am ready to be un-pregnant. I am ready to have my body back, to be able to sleep on my stomach, to wear normal clothes again, and to not have a little human rolling around inside me. I am SO excited to meet my baby boy and welcome him to the world. I am SO excited to finally be a mama to my own child and to have Will become a dad.
It will be weird becoming a trio with this lil person to what's been a duo for so long. But we are excited to start our family. The biggest debate: What color HAIR will he have?!
Will and his dad still believe blonde towhead all the way.
I and most people believe my dark genes will dominate, but I hope he has Will's blue eyes. We shall find out pretty soon!!!!
