28 Days

I can't believe that in less than 4 weeks (hopefully!) I will be holding my son. This pregnancy has definitely flown by. Oh some days it seemed like it would never end but for the most part, it feels like it was just yesterday I was showing Jesse a pregnancy test with two pink lines.

This is from about 12 weeks. I looked down at my stomach every day hoping to see a baby bump and now I look down and see this.

Definitely more than a bump!

While the days are getting more and more uncomfortable and the amount of sleep lessens each night, all I can think about is being a good mother to this sweet boy that God has given us. I know that it's going to be hard and I know that we will both make mistakes but I also know that God has blessed us with an incredible family and with wonderful friends to support us and help us in this journey.

So my darling Elijah, while I am more excited than you know to meet you and finally tell you how much I love you in person, I am going to enjoy every last moment of carrying you. I will treasure every kick (or full body roll as you enjoy doing each night) and I will savor each good night story your dad reads to my belly. We love you and we are so glad to be your parents.
