38th week of pregnancy....

I cant believe that i have only about 2 weeks to go (15 days) till our little one arrives! (Well, that being all well and he being on time! Hehe) We are getting very excited, anxious, and nervous all at the same time! It seems like it has taken forever, to me at least. I guess that is normal, to feel that way when your so anxious and excited to meet this little one inside of you. Hehe
It still amazes me everyday.... the miracle of life. What a testament to Gods almighty power! For only he could do something as awesome and amazing as this.

As i am almost at the end of this journey and stage in my life, my first pregnancy, i have enjoyed every step of the way. Of course, there are times when its not so fun, having back aches and being uncomfortable and all of that good stuff, but hey, its worth it. : -)

Its been an amazing journey! From first finding out that i was pregnant, to getting our first ultrasound and seeing and hearing the little heartbeat for the first time. To choosing out a nursery theme, to decorating it. Buying cute little clothes, and packing them away... to finding out that our baby would be a lovely little boy, and feeling his first little kicks. To reading each week the updates that tell me exactly what is happening to him inside of me. :-) Even the amusement of watching your body change, and seeing your bump get bigger.... Thats kinda neat too! Haha... Even if in the end its so very uncomfortable! But hey, i cant complain, he hasnt kicked me in the ribs yet! So Im thankful for that..... Haha. ;) Its just been so wonderful... i yet have to give birth to him, which i am sure will be an experience quite like no other, Hehe but i am actually looking forward to it very much so!... :)

Words cannot even describe how thankful to the Lord i am, and just how blessed i am to have had the opportunity to experience this journey, not only by myself, but with a loving and devoted husband who has been there beside me at every single appointment, who has rubbed my feet (even though he hates doing it.. ) on countless occasions, who has gone and fetched me whatever my heart desired as far as food cravings goes, haha, who has listened to me complain about how uncomfortable i have been throughout the last couple of weeks, and lets not forget, bandaging my hands up EVERY single night for the past 5 months or so because of my carpel tunnel. I could go on and on, but i know i couldnt have done it without him. :-) I love you sweetheart. Thank you for everything you are to me, and all you have done to help me get this far. I am so very much looking forward to taking the next step of parenthood with you by my side. Love you. :-) I will treasure the memories of this journey together, forever.

So as a little memento of our Journey, i made this little slideshow. I couldnt figure out how to get a play and stop button. :( So youll just have to mute it once you have seen it. :)

Love
