Where do I even start?
The past couple of months
(Yes, I do realize it's been more than two months since I last wrote)
have FLOWN by.
I know that it's just silly pressure that I put on myself,
but I really wanted to document this pregnancy better that I did.
I guess it's the journalist in me.
Or maybe it's all the ideas I found on Pinterest while we were trying to get pregnant.
Or maybe it's my need to compete with everyone and everything and be the best at anything I try to do.
Including being the best at preparing for, having and taking care of a baby.
Ya, I know.
Obsessive.
But what's actually happened is somewhat miraculous.
I've just let myself enjoy this process,
enjoy my new job,
and enjoy preparing for this new little life.
Oh, we've snapped a few pictures along the way so I'll post a few of them here
but I'm so glad that we've just tried to take in everything that is new and exciting and changing.
Which is a lot of stuff.
At the beginning of September we went on our last "couple" trip.
My sister has generously donated half of her child-rearing tools to us
because she recently moved across the country.
So we drove down to San Diego to pick up a few things
and we were able to be there for my nephew's birthday.
It was a blast and seeing the energy and excitement he has for life made me really excited to have my little boy.
Later that month my sisters and mom threw an AMAZING shower for me and Baby G.
I'm seriously so blessed to have them in my life!
They are all such great examples of mothers - in so many different ways.
So now that I've totally overwhelmed you with pictures I'll wrap it up now.
Brian and I have had so much fun getting ready for this little man.
I can't even imagine how this baby is going to change our lives.
I'm actually trying to not think about it.
But for the meantime, little guy, we sure love you.
And we can't wait to meet you.
(But daddy says if you come before election day, he won't be there.
So hold out a few more days - at least)
Love much,
Mama Beth
