Good Intentions.

I started this blog when I got pregnant with every intention of writing regularly and documenting every little milestone of my pregnancy. I think most women go into pregnancy with every inclination that it's going to be tough but we don't actually comprehend the exhaustion and roller coaster of emotions that come along with it until we're facing it dead on. My pregnancy has not been complicated in the slightest. I had pretty rough morning sickness in the beginning- but I can't say I was any worse off than other mothers who have went through the same thing. My second trimester was smooth sailing. My energy levels were great and I can't say I really had that many complaints. Of course, nearing the end of my third trimester, I'm starting to become a little whiney (okay, maybe slightly more than a little whiney). However, even with the constant need to pee, annoying pressure everywhere, back pain, and round ligament pain, I can say I'm truly blessed. There are so many mama's out there just struggling to get to the finish line of full gestation. I just have some routine aches and pains.

I can tell you that I'm definitely getting anxious. I would love to just sleep through the next five weeks and have our little one in our arms. However, I am also trying to live in the moment and enjoy these next few weeks with my husband. We have never had to share each other's company for long periods of time. It's always been the two of us against the world besides your normal visit with friends or family. We enjoy spending our time together and it's rare that we do things one without the other. It'll be interesting to see how we adapt to having another living human being in our household. I can't say that I'm not worried about losing ourselves in parenting, as you hear so many horror stories, but I plan on doing absolutely everything in my power to keep our marriage strong and to the remain the team that we have been for the past five years. I couldn't envision my life without this man and there is no one else on Earth I would rather do this with. He's my warrior, my rock, and we're each other's number one fan. I cannot wait to see him enter his role as a father, as I know little Z will have him wrapped around his finger from the moment she takes her first breath in this world. God has blessed me beyond measure with the life I've been given and I hope there is never a day that I come to take that for granted.
