The Countdown...

We are anxiously counting down the days until we can meet little man - 19 to be exact. Well, that's my due date. I'm sure he won't come on that day... We could not possibly be more excited. I can't stop daydreaming about that moment when we first see him. We have been waiting years for this and there are no words to describe the anticipation. I can't even watch an episode of "16 & Pregnant" these days without crying because I imagine what that moment will be like for us.
I have been very blessed with a healthy pregnancy and overall have felt really good. I am getting to the uncomfortable stage and am just kind of over it but I know that I will miss this. I will miss feeling his little kicks and maybe even having his butt in my ribs. It has been one of the most amazing times in my life and I cannot wait to do it again. :) Ok, it will probably be a little while...
These are some of the things that helped make my pregnancy so wonderful -

1. an AMAZING husband - He has been involved in every step of this pregnancy and totally taken care of me. I am pretty blessed and so is this kid to have him for a dad.
2. leggings - hands down, my favorite maternity piece of clothing
3. my wonderful doctor - If anyone is looking for an OBGYN in the area, I definitely would recommend mine. She has been great with answering all our questions and making me feel comfortable with all of this.
4. a good water bottle - my favorite is my Camelback. I was sooo not a water drinker before I got pregnant. That was honestly my biggest adjustment.
5. a body pillow - definitely a must have if you want to get any sleep
6. Palmers belly butter - I used this every night before bed and haven't gotten any stretch marks. Yes, I know stretch marks are mostly genetic but this really helped with itchy skin also.

Hopefully soon we can have an update introducing our little man...
