Life is tough enough without having someone kick you from the inside. - - Rita Rudner

I thought this was such a cute quote... and so true!  

This baby girl inside of me has never let me doubt she's there.  These kicks and movements have been a wonderful, daily constant.  I know I'm going to miss them when she's here... but what a nice alternative, having her in my arms instead!  

I can't believe I'm 7 weeks out!  I think I'm losing my mind! Where has the time gone?!!! There are so many things to be done, so many ways I need to prepare!  I need to finish her room, make sure I have all the baby gear I need, clean and safety-proof the house, wash her clothes and linens, and I need to REST!  Between working and doing all that, I've got to have some relaxing time to myself before it's gone!  So, I'm not ready for her just yet, but I'm definitely ready to have my body back!  

Everything grows rounder and wider and weirder, and I sit here in the middle of it all and wonder who in the world you will turn out to be. - - Carrie Fisher

In the quiet times that I'm not worrying about this and that or busy getting from here to there, I stop and rub my belly, wondering what she's going to look like... what she's going to sound like... if she'll be easy-going... wondering what kind of parents we're going to be... the list goes on.  No matter what I'm thinking of, I realize this is SUCH a huge blessing and the biggest challenge yet.  And I can't wait!
