Are we ready?

Well, jelly bean, are we ready?

Tomorrow marks the day we travel to the hospital and get induced to bring you into this world. Its slightly bittersweet for me.

You have been so supremely kind to me and my body the past 40 weeks and 6 days. I want you to know, the most important thing to me is that you are healthy. I have not been sick, I have been a little tired, I've had no strange cravings, I've been healthy, I've had mostly good days and Ive had a wonderful group of support people.  I am so glad that you will get to be part of this family.

You will always hold a piece of my heart. You are half of me, and half of your father.

I pray that everything goes as smoothly as possible for both of us ( you and I ). I know that we are going to do something completely new and exciting for both of us. There will be moments that will be stressful for us both, but hopefully those are overshadowed by the moments of joy that we will both experience. I am currently overwhelmed with emotions as I write this. I am experiencing feelings of happiness, nervousness, joy, excitement, and a tiny bit of sadness ( because the process of growing you is drawing to a close).

 I am excited to introduce you to the world and see your sweet face. I have wondered for so long what you will look like, what your first cry will sound like, what it will be like to finally hold you in my arms, and for you to grasp my finger with your tiny hand for the very first time. It will be amazing to finally be able to kiss your sweet face and comfort you.

I have prayed for you for so long. Countless prayers for anything and everything that you may ever need. It is a blessing and an honor to pray for you. God created you for such a special purpose, I am honored to be blessed with the task of being your momma. I can only imagine the things we both will learn as we embark on this journey together.  I have also prayed prayers of thanks so many times for being blessed with you.

In a short closing, know this, you will never be alone. God will always walk with you every single step of the way. You are a blessing, you are a miracle, and you are special. I will always try my best to treat you with the utmost respect and care. I love you so much more than you will ever know. May you always carry part of me with you. I am so excited to share my life with you. I love you.

As far as your father goes; Ryan, I love you today tomorrow and forever. Tomorrow is the day that two truly become one.

40 weeks and then some...

40 weeks and then some ...

Well little jelly bean we have hit the 40 week mark ( actually I am 40 weeks and 3 days as of now; I am a suitable host body for you ) You and I are still a team. I love you. I keep telling people I'm holding you hostage- I love feeling all of your little kicks and squirms all to myself. 

Your MeMe has come down and spent time with me walking all over town trying to coax you out. We are making progress but honestly I'm in no rush. We are not hurting or extremely uncomfortable. We went to the doctor and did a biophysical scan on 10/2/14. MeMe and I got to see you practicing breathing and made sure you had plenty of fluid to stay healthy. We heard your heartbeat and the doctor said you were perfectly healthy and that if you're not here by October 8th we are gonna get induced and kick you out.  All I am saying is whenever you are ready, I'll be right there with you doing what I need to be doing, learning to be the best momma I can be to you.  This is going to be a learning process for us both, and you may not understand patience but I will do my absolute best to try and figure this out for us both. 

I can't wait to meet you little one. Take your time getting here, perfection doesn't come easy. I love you, so much more than you'll ever know.
