32 Weeks and Counting!

I have definitely not kept up with taking belly shots as much with this pregnancy as I did with Sam's, but as you all know, there are reasons for that!! They are known as toddler, job, grad school, and life in general ;)

This pregnancy has absolutely FLOWN by up to this point -- I can't believe that I am already 32 weeks in. That means that in just 56 short days, David and Sam and I will get to meet this new little person. It is simultaneously scary and thrilling. I have thoughts like, "How will I feel when I first hold him or her in my arms? Will this new person fit into our family? How will Sam react to not being Mama's baby anymore? Will David and I be able to adjust to having two kids? Will falling in love with this baby be the same as it was with Sam?" And the list goes on and on...

Mostly, as I approach these last two months of my pregnancy, I am surprised by how relaxed I feel about it all. I am more mellow, more mentally prepared, more welcoming of this change. I have this secure feeling that no matter what happens, we will be just fine. Better than fine -- this whole thing is going to be awesome :).

So here are a couple of belly shots -- 7 months in! That's some belly, huh??? ;)
