I Love You to the Moon, but Further.

 

And I'd choose you;

in a hundred lifetimes,

in a hundred worlds, 

in any version of reality,

I'd find you and

I'd choose you.

Words can never describe the love I have for this little girl. She is so special to me. She is my sun, my moon, and all my stars. Jacob and I are so blessed that God gave her to us to raise up and that we get to watch her grow every day. I will never be able to thank him enough, even though I will every single day for the rest of my life.

Blair, 

Never settle for anything less than amazing. You are the most amazing person I've ever met, and I hope you will see yourself the way I see you when you get older. You are so beautiful and I love your spirit. I love your soul. I'm so excited to watch you blossom in life and I look forward to supporting you in all of you dreams and aspirations in life. I hope to always be the best momma to you because that's what you deserve. I love you more than you will ever know.

35 Weeks!

Blair is 35 Weeks today and is as big as a honeydew melon, probably weighing about 5.25 pounds!

35 Weeks for me means that EVERYTHING I do is uncomfortable. From breathing to sleeping to bending down to pick something up. (Even though I'd have to say sleeping and bending are the 2 worst). Luckily for me this is my last full week of work so I won't have to be doing crazy stuff like avoiding running into fixtures with my big belly....and bending over!

Jacob and I are so excited and ready for Blair to be here we could burst! We almost have her nursery done, we are just waiting on the dresser to be completed and we need to find a rocking chair that I like (it seems like an impossible task!). Hopefully this weekend will be a success in the rocking chair area. 

 This little munchkin gets the hiccups like crazy, especially after I drink Sprite (sorry I love Sprite so much these days little one!). She loves to kick momma in the ribs and stretch my belly out on one side so it looks like a little alien in trying to come through. It also feels like she is chewing on my insides sometimes, even though that's not the case (I hope!), I imagine it is actually little fingers or toes poking around and digging in.

My favorite thing is when I can see her practicing breathing through my stomach. The constant (but subtle) up-down movement brings a smile to my face. I love her so much already, I can't believe I will be holding her soon!!

33 Weeks.

 

33 Weeks! Blair is the size of a pineapple and should weigh around 4.5 pounds!!!

I have reached the state where every stranger thinks I should be going into labor at anytime now. And then I tell them I'm due December 9th, and they look extremely uncomfortable and try to cover up their previous comments with compliments or other nice questions. It's mostly men that do this, and I chalk it up to because they've never been pregnant and don't know what they are talking about!

 It doesn't really bother me anymore, cause yes, I know, my belly is BIG! But it's okay with me, because my doctor keeps telling me everything is perfect and that I'm measuring perfect. So as long as my baby is growing and healthy I'm a happy mama!

And um, she will be here in about 7 weeks! That's crazy!!!

Jacob and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary last Friday! I totally spaced when it came to blogging about it, so Jacob, I just want to let you know that it's been the best 5 years of my life. I'm so blessed to be married to a man who makes me laugh every single day, who still gives me butterflies, who makes all my dreams come true, and now you are going to be the best father to our child. I can't wait to raise her with you and take her on as many adventures as possible with you. I love you for always.

14 Weeks.

14 weeks, Baby is the size of a lemon!

 Can I just say that the 2nd Trimester is Heaven on Earth compared to the 1st Trimester. When I discovered I was pregnant, I thought man this is easy, no sickness, no aches, nothing! That lasted 2 weeks and then bring on the "ALL DAY" nausea. One of the worst things I've ever experienced. Everyday I made the vow that I would never get pregnant again if this is what I have to go through everyday for the rest of pregnancy. Awful, just plain awful! 

Okay, well fast-forward 4 weeks from the first day of sickness and I have felt pretty good, goodbye nausea! (So there is still a chance for Baby #2, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here). Now days I feel just like my normal old self, just hungry all the time and the worst thing is that none of my clothes fit (which they haven't fit for awhile now, ahem bloating....). Seriously though, I don't know how I fit in them before, so tiny.

OKAY! I'm done with whining for now! I'm so thrilled to be pregnant, and it's driving me crazy to know the gender so I can start preparing for this little munchkin! What gender do you think Baby is?

The Ride.

Obsessed wouldn't even begin to describe how I feel about Free People's latest catalog. It's simply amazing. It shows us the kind of days that I constantly dream about. Being on the road with the love of my life, exploring and traveling, kissing and cuddling, wearing the most chic/comfy clothes and taking gorgeous pictures. Perfection. I want every single item Erin is wearing!

When Jacob and I were getting married I begged him to elope in Vegas with me....you know married by Elvis and everything tacky like that....(but how fun and memorable would that be!?). He refused though, because he really wanted a wedding that we could share with family and friends. Which I am very happy with our decision to have our beautiful wedding in Arkansas, but still a tiny part of me wishes we would have just eloped! Jacob knows this and he promised that when we get the chance to go to Vegas that we will get married by Elvis and renew our vows. Which I think will be even better than eloping in the first place! I will get the fairy-tale wedding and the Vegas Elopement!
