Today I am 19 weeks along, and am feeling bigger and better than ever! Every day brings a full load of wonderful emotions (only a few fearful ones present.) How is it possible that you can already love someone so deeply and never even officially "met" them yet? I have always wanted to be a mother, and to finally be able to experience ALL that motherhood entails is beyond exciting to me!

| Our baby this week! |
We find out in one week if this little peanut is a boy or girl (or if my husband and others' suspicion is true that there are 2 in there.) It is amazing that I have already almost forgotten the horrible sickness I experienced from week 6-12 ...I guess that's why people keep having kids even through the rough pregnancies.
Sam and I have been trying to get done as many house projects as we can while we still have "time" to do them, and it has kept us busy! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being uber productive and bettering things, but it will be kind of nice to have a reason NOT to be able to do these things.
I have been in my new job for over a month now, and am so thankful everyday to be able to be at a place where I can say I AM HAPPY! I love what I do, and work with some amazing people! What a blessing it has been to get this part of my life FINALLY squared away :) I learn so much each day that I am there and get a new perspective from so many of the patients! What a refreshing thing!
I miss seeing my friends as much as I used to. I wish we all didn't have to work so much and that I could just have all of them live on my block. I guess its part of the business of life and getting older, but can't I just have my weekends back like when I was 21? However, it does seem that distance does make the heart grow fonder and appreciate people so much more for who they are and what we have in our friendships!
Even though I am not letting myself "bake" in the sun like my hear so desires and has every other summer in the past, I am still trying to enjoy every bit of this beautiful season! I don't want it to slip away! However, I would not complain if we jumped right to Dec. 18th :)
Ill keep updating on the upcoming pregnancy journeys and baby! Until then, I think its time this tired girl starts making her way to bed :)
