HELLO 9 MONTHS | WEEK 36

Hello 9 months! Most people relate to having a baby right at 9 months pregnant, but you have to put into consideration you need to actually go through the rest of those 4 weeks in order for it to actually equal = that 9th month! And that’s just what we’ve got - 4 short weeks left! 

I’m getting so anxiously SAD. I don’t want this pregnancy to be over just yet. I’ve been so blessed to carry this baby. She’s been nothing but good to me and what a dream come true it has been to call this wonderful pregnancy mine. I still can’t get over her wiggles and the closeness I feel with her inside of me. Sure, it may feel like I’m holding a bowling ball with every vagina muscle I have, but nothing beats growing this little human that Max and I have created!

Another reason why I wouldn’t mind her baking for a little longer is because we have still yet to move into a place! Luckily, and I’m telling you all of the stars aligned with this one, we have a house! Max and I have had our eyes peeled literally every single day for that perfect home to call our own this entirrrrre summer. I think if I would’ve had to search Craigslist and drive around town for listings one more week I would have gone into melt down mode. (I’ve never seen melt down mode happen, so this could’ve gotten ugly.) It has been so draining and stressful but I think we found the one! We put the security deposit down today and hope to move in THIS WEEK! I can’t believe it took us this long to get a place, but it was obviously supposed to happen this way. Let the nesting festivities begin!

I’ve been remaining as positive as I can with everything and that is truly what has made this pregnancy so tolerable. Everyone asks me how I can be so happy all of the time and I simply can’t dwell on the little things. Max has been working so hard at his new job where long hours occur and days off are far in the distance for him. I wish it didn’t have to be this way, especially when our little darlin’ arrives, but I am so proud of him. We have such a huge support system on our shoulders and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m thankful that I can still go to work and bring the bacon in at 36 weeks pregnant. I also managed to paint my own toe nails this weekend! I’m definitely known for my skill of “whining” but I’ve certainly toughened up within these last 9 months and I owe it to this little gal that is soon to enter our lives!
