Amazing*

My husband has been so amazing during this whole pregnancy. He has been very patient with me as I have become more emotional. He has walked with me through all the ups and downs and served me even when I am sure he did not feel like it. I have fallen more in love with him through this whole season of our lives. He is going to be an amazing Dad, I can't wait for Micah to meet his Father. They are going to be two peas in a pod...probably gaining up on Mommy every once in a while. ;) It is going to be 2 against 1 from now on. But I am okay with that, I can't wait to get play and get dirty with him, learn about bugs and just be his mommy. It's crazy to think that Micah will be our son, that we get to raise him and take care of him. I know there will be a lot of hard and difficult times where I ask myself, why did we have kids again? But I know that God is going to do great things with Micah.
I mainly just wanted to rave about my husband being so good to me. He has been so self-less, getting up to get me water, or making me food when I feel sick. He helps me get up out of bed or out of the car because I am not so mobile anymore. And he genuinely cares when he does these things, he doesn't ever whine or complain. He has been such a big support and I can't wait to make a family with him. :)

Hopefully baby will be here soon!

Anytime now*

I am 38 weeks today according to my due date of April 30th. So that means he can come at any dang time he wants! :) Which kind of makes me nervous and anxious because he can come anytime, anywhere...im afraid that my water will break at church or when im out and about. And I don't want to wake up to painful contractions but I guess that is just the way it goes with a baby. I keep going back and forth between being excited for the labor/birth and being scared. I think to myself women go through this every single day and some women choose to have multiple babies...so I should be okay. And then I think OH MY GOSH, I have to push this big ol baby out of this little tiny hole. So crazy how God made the human body to work.
All I know is that I want to not focus on myself when im in labor. I am taking my ipod and listening to worship so I can get in the zone! In our lamaze class the RN told us that we should have a "happy place" made up in our mind so we can focus on that instead of the pain. I kept trying to think of what my "happy place" is and my first thought is well, I like the beach...but thats lame to make up a fake place that makes me happy. And I thought, well the place I really like to be is in God's presence. What better avenue to get in God's presence but through worship music. I love getting into worship so I am believing that I will be able to get my mind off the pain (essentially off of myself) so that Micah can come into this world with God's presence in the room.
I know everything is going to be fine, its just crazy to think that I am going to be the momma and shelden is going to be the daddy! so fun but crazy! :) its kinda wierd being all grown up now ;)
wooo whooo baby Micah is on his way!!! come little baby...come!
