The Last 16 Weeks!

I cannot believe how fast the last 4 months have flown by. In just the last few weeks I have popped out like a balloon, felt those little flutters of the baby moving, received our first pair of baby clothes and accessories, and in just 3 short days we will find out the sex of our baby!

This month is the first time in my pregnancy I TRULY feel pregnant. I’m sure all moms or moms-to-be know what I am talking about. You know you are pregnant...you see the ultrasounds, read all the books, feel awful, talk about the baby, dream about the baby, and know that there will one day be a baby! BUT it wasn’t until this month that it all finally feels like a reality to me and not just something I talk about. Actually being able to see my stomach grow and feel my baby inside of me (even though the movements are so tiny and faint) is indescribable and surreal. Then to top it all off to know that in just a few short days I will FINALLY be calling my child by name is so exciting!

I was talking to my husband the other night in total panic mode saying, "This is real. I am having a baby. There really is a baby inside of me. I don't even know this person, but I know that I already love this child more than anything in this world." My husband just calmly says (like he always does just so calm without a care in the world) "Well yes honey, our child is defiantly inside of you and we are having a baby." Ha! Men they just crack me up. I think more than anything I just finally had one of those days where everything truly sank in and hit me like a ton of bricks. My pregnancy finally feels real and I am LOVING every second of it.
